4.3.3 MAC Address

The MAC (Media Access Control) address, as the unique identifier of the router in network, does not

need to be changed commonly.

Set the MAC Address for LAN port:

In a complex network topology with all the ARP bound devices, if you want to use TL-R470T+ instead

of the current router in a network node, you can just set the MAC address of TL-R470T+’s LAN port the

same to the MAC address of the previous router, which can avoid all the devices under this network

node to update their ARP binding tables.

Set the MAC Address for WAN port:

In the condition that your ISP has bound the account and the MAC address of the dial-up device, if you

want to change the dial-up device to be TL-R470T+, you can just set the MAC address of TL-R470T+’s

WAN port the same to the MAC address of the previous dial-up device for a normal Internet

connection.
