Setting Up and Configuring the Router

Setup > MAC Address Clone

Some ISPs require that you register a MAC address. This

feature “clones” your network adapter’s MAC address onto

the Router, and prevents you from having to call your ISP

to change the registered MAC address to the Router’s

MAC address. The Router’s MAC address is a 12-digit code

assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification.

Setup > MAC Address Clone

MAC Address Clone Select Enabled or Disabled from

the drop-down menu.

MAC Address Enter the MAC Address registered with

your ISP in this field.

Clone My PC’s MAC When MAC Address Clone is enabled,

click this button to copy the MAC address of the network

adapter in the computer that you are using to connect to

the Web interface.

Click Save Settings to save the MAC Cloning settings or

click Cancel Changes to undo your changes.

Setup > Advanced Routing

Operating Mode

Operation Mode Select the Operating mode in which

this Router will function.:

Gateway • This is the normal mode of operation. This

allows all devices on your LAN to share the same

WAN (Internet) IP address. In Gateway mode, the NAT

(Network Address Translation) mechanism is enabled.

Router • You either need another Router to act as the

Internet Gateway, or all PCs on your LAN must be

assigned (fixed) Internet IP addresses. In Router mode,

the NAT mechanism is disabled.

Dynamic Routing

The Router’s dynamic routing feature can be used to

automatically adjust to physical changes in the network’s

layout. The Router can use the dynamic RIP protocol to

calculate the most efficient route for the network’s data

packets to travel between the source and the destination,

based upon the shortest paths. The RIP protocol regularly

broadcasts routing information to other routers on the

network.

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) If you want the

Router to use the RIP protocol, select Enabled; otherwise,

keep the default setting, Disabled.

RIP Send Packet Version Choose the TX protocol you

want for transmitting data on the network: RIPv1 or

RIPv2. This should match the version supported by other

Routers on your LAN.

RIP Recv Packet Version Choose the RX protocol you

want for receiving data from the network: RIPv1 or RIPv2.

This should match the version supported by other Routers

on your LAN.

Static Routing

Sometimes you will prefer to use static routes to build your

routing table instead of using dynamic routing protocols.

Static routes do not require CPU resources to exchange

routing information with a peer router. You can also use

static routes to reach peer routers that do not support

dynamic routing protocols. Static routes can be used

together with dynamic routes. Be careful not to introduce

routing loops in your network.

To set up static routing, you should add route entries in

the routing table that tell the Router where to forward

packets to specific IP destinations.

Enter the following data to create a static route entry:

Select Set Number Select the set number (routing

table entry number) that you wish to view or configure. If

necessary, click Delete This Entry to clear the entry.
