4. Return to the setup utility and turn the modem off.

If your settings are correct and you still cannot connect, the most likely cause is that

your ISP requires the machine connected to the modem to have a particular MAC

address. One solution is to register the MAC address of the router's WAN port with

your ISP. You can find this MAC address by clicking the Status button.

Another solution is to use the MAC Address Clone function.

MAC Address Clone: If you can find out the MAC address that your ISP requires, or

it is the MAC address of the computer you are using to set up the router, you can

"clone" the address to the router's WAN port. Do this as follows:

1. On the setup utility's Setup page, click the MAC Address Clone tab.

2. Click Enable.

3. Do one of the following:

If the address is not that of the computer being used to set up the router, enter the

address in the User Defined Entry boxes.

If the address is that of the computer being used to set up the router, click Clone

Your PC's MAC.

4. Click Save Settings.

Setup for Wireless Networking

The router acts as a wireless access point (AP, also called a base station). Wireless

clients (computers with wireless interfaces, also called wireless stations) connect to

the wired network, the Internet, and each other through the AP portion of the router.

• If you will not use wireless networking, click the Wireless page button, open the

Wireless Network Mode list, click Disabled, and click Save Settings. Then go

to "Setup for Router Security," below.

If you have a wireless client, we suggest starting up the client's wireless connection

software and clicking Site Survey while the router is on.

The router will be detected (its default SSID, or wireless network name, is mySSID),

and you will be able to join the network (this is usually done by double-clicking the

displayed SSID). Anyone else in the vicinity with a wireless client can do this also.

Setup is required to make the wireless network secure against intrusion.

While the Site Survey results are displayed, take note of the wireless channels used by

any other APs or wireless networks operating in the vicinity.
