NOTE: When the Connection Status is “connecting”, please try the steps as below.
1. Tap “Administration”à“WAN Parameters”à “Clone MAC”.
Some ISPs will bind your broadband account info and a specified MAC address of your computer together. If you can only access the Internet with a specified computer without a Router, you can try cloning MAC address for normal Internet access. By default, it clones the factory MAC address (the MAC address of the router). If you want to clone the MAC address of the current attached computer, select “manual” and input the MAC address of the current attached computer on its right. Then tap “OK” to save this setting.

In WAN Parameters, pelase choose WAN Speed in the drop-menu. Then click OK to save the settings.
By default, the WAN rate is set as “Auto”. Generally, it is not advisable to change the default value. When the cable length between your Router and the remote device (modem, Router, etc.) is relatively long, you can set WAN rate to 10M FDX or 10MHDX to enhance transmission rate.
