Objective

A MAC address is a 12-digit hexadecimal code assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification. ISPs register the MAC address of the router when the service is first installed. If you have registered a different MAC address previously, the clone feature allows you to link the registered MAC address to the CVR100W router. This avoids the need to contact the ISP to change the MAC address.

This article explains how to clone a MAC address on the CVR100W.

Applicable Device
