This feature of most routers is essential, however, when an ISP requires that packets arriving at the cable modem be from some known (to them) MAC address, often one registered with them when signing up

connected directly to the modem, even though there's a router between the
two.
So that would be when you'd choose Use This Mac Address and key in the one provided by the ISP, right? If they provided one. More likely you would have provided them with the MAC address of your computer, and then you'd only need to use "Use Computer MAC Address".
