3.3.1.3 MAC Address Clone
You maybe need to register your MAC address requested by ISP. If you don’t want to
register your MAC again, you can clone router’s MAC for ISP.
You can clone 3 parts MAC address: LAN port MAC clone, WAN port MAC clone and
wireless MAC clone. There is 2 points need to be note:
1. MAC address is 48-bits, the first byte should be even, cannot be set to a multicast
address;
2. Because of wireless network card and LAN network card conbine with br0 bridge,
so the MAC address of the bridge br0 is determined by the smaller value of the
MAC address of the LAN network card and the MAC address of wireless network
card.
3.3.1.4 Advanced Routing
In this page, you can set operate mode and static routing parameters. For most users,
the “Gateway” mode is recommended.
