7.4.1.2 WAN – Static IP
ƒ The WAN interface can be configured as Static IP address. In this type of connection, your ISP
provides you with a dedicated IP address (which does not change as DHCP).
ƒ Internet Connection Type: Select the Static IP 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 IP Address: Specify the IP address for this device, which is assigned by your ISP.
ƒ Subnet Mask: Specify the subnet mask for this IP address, which is assigned by your ISP.
ƒ Gateway IP Address: Specify the IP address of the default gateway, which is assigned by your ISP.
ƒ Domain Name Service: Specify the primary and secondary DNS server IP address.
