4. MTU

The MTU setting should never be changed unless your ISP gives you a specific
MTU setting. Making changes to the MTU setting can cause problems with your
Internet connection including disconnection from the Internet, slow Internet
access, and problems with Internet applications working properly.

5. Disconnect after X….

The “Disconnect” feature is used to automatically disconnect the Router from
your ISP when there is no activity for a specified period of time. For instance,
placing a check mark next to this option and entering “5” into the minute field
will cause the Router to disconnect from the Internet after five minutes of no
Internet activity. This option should be used if you pay for your Internet service
by the minute.

Setting your ISP Connection Type to Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)

[European Countries Only]. Some ISPs require a connection using PPTP protocol,
a type of connection most common in European countries. This sets up a direct
connection to the ISP’s system. Type in the information provided by your ISP in
the space provided. When you have finished, click “Apply Changes”. After you
apply the changes, the Internet Status indicator will read “connection OK” if
your Router is set up properly.
