The
Router's MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of
hardware for identification. Some ISPs require that you register the MAC
address of the network card/adapter that was connected to your cable or
DSL modem during installation. If your ISP requires MAC address
registration, find your adapter's MAC address by following the
instructions for your PC's operating system.
