Ethernet Settings

While default settings for each WAN Ethernet port will be
sufficient in most circumstances, you have the ability to
control:



Connect

Method:

DHCP

(Automatic),

Static

(Manual), or PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over
Ethernet).



MAC Address: You have the ability to change the

MAC address, but typically this is unnecessary. You
can match this address with your device‘s address
by clicking: ―Clone Your PC’s MAC Address‖.

Connect Method
Select the connection type that you need for this WAN connection. You may need to check with your ISP or system
administrator for this information.



DHCP

(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is the most common configuration. Your router‘s Ethernet ports are

automatically configured for DHCP connection. DHCP automatically assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices in
your networks. This is preferable in most circumstances.



Static allows you to input a specific IP address for your WAN connection; this should be provided by the ISP if

supported.



PPPoE should be configured with the username, password and other settings provided by your ISP.

If you want to use a Static (Manual) or PPPoE connection, you will need to fill out additional information.
