Sharing a wireless network

Hi guys

I have a micradigital F5D7630 uk 4A-E router and have been given confirmation from the company this can be compatible with cable/telewest.

First of all I have the router connected to the modem via lan 1 (ethernet connection) and can only have 1 pc connect to the internet at any time. If you power down the machine the internet will work on the other wireless pc.

Micradigital have said this: Some cable providers use Mac address authentication to authenticate users on their network. Once you connect from one PC their system will remember the Mac address of this PC and then will only ever allow this particular PC back onto the network.
There is a setting in the router, which allows you to copy the Mac address of your PC onto the router, so that all devices behind the router can use its connection.

.......They forgot to send me the document that displays how to go about this. I have the mac address of the modem (on the base of the modem).

Do you enter this into the router mac address page 3 times? for three pc's?

I have no idea how to go about this, please can you help


Many thanks

Daniel
