Netgear FVS338 사용자 설명서

Connecting the FVS338 to the Internet

2-7

Set up the traffic meter for the Dialup ISP if desired (see 

).

Each computer or router on your network has a unique 48-bit local Ethernet address. This is also 
referred to as the computer's MAC (Media Access Control) address. The default is set to Use 
Default Address. If your ISP requires MAC authentication and another MAC address has been 
previously registered with your ISP, then you must enter that address.

To change the router’s default MAC Address:

1. Select Network Configuration from the main menu, Broadband ISP Settings from the 

submenu and click the Advanced link. Check the radio box for either:

a. Use This computer’s MAC address, if this is the address your ISP expects, or

b. Use this MAC Address and enter the MAC address that your ISP expects. 

The format for the MAC address is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX where X is a number from 0 to 9 
(inclusive) or an alphabetical letter between A and F (inclusive). 

2. Click Apply to save your settings or Cancel to revert to the previous settings

You may also change the default MTU Size and Port Speed for the Broadband link on this screen, 
based on the following criteria: 

•

MTU Size. The standard MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) value for Ethernet networks is 
either 1500 Bytes or 1492 Bytes for PPPoE connections. Some ISPs may ask you to reduce the 
MTU, but this is rarely required, and should not be done unless required by your ISP.

•

Port Speed. In most cases, your router can automatically determine the connection speed of 
the Internet (WAN) port. If you cannot establish an Internet connection and the Internet LED 
blinks continuously, you may need to manually select the port speed. 

Note: The response time of your serial port Internet connection will be slower 

than a broadband Internet connection. 

Tip: If you experience connectivity problems with the Dialup ISP, try a different 

baud rate setting and ensure that the modem parameters you selected match the 
modem connected to the FVS338.
