NAT (Network Address Translation)
NAT allows computers on your home network to share the modem router Internet connection. NAT is enabled by default
because it is required in most situations. Select the NAT setting:
• Enable. NAT is enabled. This is the default setting. Leave this setting if no reason to disable NAT exists.
• Disable. NAT is disabled.
Router MAC Address
The Ethernet MAC address that the modem router uses on the Internet port. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the
network interface card in your computer when your account is first opened. They accept traffic only from the MAC address
of that computer. This feature allows your modem router to use your computer's MAC address (also called cloning).

Description
Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your ISP automatically assigns
this address.
If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the
modem router during login, select this option and enter the IP address of your ISP
primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server address is available, enter it also.
Use the default MAC address.
The modem router captures and uses the MAC address of the computer that you
are now using. You must use the one computer that is registered by the ISP.
Enter the MAC address that you want to use. By default, the field displays the MAC
address of the Internet port.
Enter the vendor class identifier (VCI) string, as indicated by your ISP.
If your ISP did not provide you with a VCI string, leave this field blank.
Enter the client identifier (client ID) string, as indicated by your ISP.
If your ISP did not provide you with a client ID string, leave this field blank.
