WAN configuration

This is where you set public IP address provided by your ISP in order to access internet. It can be one of these 3 options: Dynamic IP addressing, Static IP addressing or PPPoE. Taking the first option i.e Dynamic IP addressing:
Dynamic IP address: choose this option to obtain an IP address automatically from your ISP(for most cable modem user). Optionally set up the host name for this router. The default MAC address is set to the WAN'S MAC address on the router.
Don't click clone MAC address unless it is really required. Sometimes this feature is required by cable modem users with service registration via computer network card and MAC address. That means the ISP will authenticate your network card's MAC address whenever you use the connection service. If so, you will need to click clone MAC address in order to clone the computer network card's MAC address to your network router. If you are not sure, check with your ISP technical support.
