MAC Cloning    

The Router¡¦s MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification. Some ISPs require that you register the MAC address of your network card/adapter, which was connected to your cable or DSL modem during installation. If your ISP requires MAC address registration, find your adapter¡¦s MAC address by following the instructions for your PC¡¦s operating system.

1.      Click the Start button, and select Run.
