7.4 Router
ƒ Under the Router section of the left menu, you will see
the following options: WAN settings, LAN settings, and
VPN Pass Through. Each section is described in detail
below.
7.4.1 WAN Settings
ƒ This page allows you to configure the WAN interface as DHCP, Static IP, PPPoE or PPTP.
7.4.1.1 WAN – DHCP
ƒ The WAN interface can be configured as a DHCP Client in which the ISP provides the IP address to
the device. This is also known as Dynamic IP.
ƒ Internet Connection Type: Select the DHCP from the drop‐down list.
ƒ Account Name: Specify an account name if your ISP has provided you with one.
ƒ Domain Name: Specify a domain name if the ISP has provided you with one.
ƒ MTU: The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the largest packet
size (in bytes) that the router will send to the WAN. If LAN devices send larger packets, the router
will break them into smaller packets. Ideally, you should set this to match the MTU of the
connection to your ISP. Typical values are 1500 bytes for an Ethernet connection. If the router's
MTU is set too high, packets will be fragmented downstream. If the router's MTU is set too low,
the router will fragment packets unnecessarily and in extreme cases may be unable to establish
some connections. In either case, network performance can suffer.
ƒ Domain Name Service: Select Get Automatically from ISP if the ISP will provide the DNS address,
if not, select Use these DNS servers and specify the primary and secondary DNS server IP address.
