5. Complete the fields with information provided by your DDNS provider, then click Ok.
To access the network from the Internet, enter the domain name provided by the DDNS service
provider.
To access one of your network devices on the Internet:
1. Configure the router to use port forwarding for the device (see ''How to set up port forwarding
for a single port'' on page 54). Note the port number used for the device.
2. Enter the domain name for your network followed by a colon and the port number. Using a
network camera as an example, if the domain name registered with your DDNS provider is
HappyBunny.linksysnet.com, and your Internet camera has been configured to use port 1024,
you would enter: HappyBunny.linksysnet.com:1024
How to clone a MAC address
On any home network, each network device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. Some
ISPs register the MAC address of the device (usually a router or a computer) connected directly to the
modem. If your computer's MAC address is registered with your ISP and you do not want to re-
register the MAC address, then you can clone the address (assign the registered MAC address of
your previous device to your new router). If you want to use the MAC address from an old router that
you are replacing with your new router, you should first determine the MAC address of your old
router, then manually enter it into your new router.
Note---- - For many ISPs that provide dynamic IP addresses automatically, the stored MAC address in
the modem is reset each time you reset the modem. If you are installing this router for the first time,
reset your modem before connecting the router to your modem. To reset your modem, disconnect
power for about one minute, and reconnect power.
To clone a MAC address from your computer:
1. Log into Linksys Smart Wi-Fi. (See ''How to connect to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi'' on page 10.)
2. Under Router Settings, click Connectivity. The Connectivity page opens.
3. Click the Internet Settings tab.
