Buffalo Technology WBMR-G54 User Manual

WBMR-G54 Wireless ADSL Router User Guide 

This is not always necessary, but may be required for some ISPs. Type in 

the MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter in the Cloned MAC 

Address field and click the Clone MAC Address button. This will copy the 

information to a file used by the Router to present to the ISP’s server used 

for DHCP. Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer’s 
Ethernet adapter when you first access their network. If you want to later 

replace the cloned MAC address with the factory default setting, type in all 

zeros - 0:0:0:0:0:0 - and click the Clone MAC Address button. 

To clone the MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter, type in the 

MAC address in the Cloned MAC Address field and then click this Clone 

MAC Address button. 

The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to 

optimize efficiency for uploading data through the WAN interface. The 
default setting (1400 bytes) should be suitable for most users. Some user 

may want to adjust the setting to optimize performance for wireless traffic 

or when low latency is desired (such as with Internet gaming). It is highly 

recommended that the user research how adjusting the MTU may affect 

network traffic for better or worse.  

Network Address Translation may be enabled or disabled with the pull-

down menu. Keep in mind that disabling NAT allows only a single computer 

to be used for Internet access through the Router. NAT is enabled and 
disabled for the Router on all connections (i.e. Pvc0 – Pvc7) if your Router 

is set up for multiple virtual connections. 

Use this to universally enable or disable the Firewall and Filter features 

available in the Router. If you disable this you will not be able to configure 

settings in the Firewall Configuration window or Filters windows in the 

Advanced directory.
