7.4.1.3 WAN – PPPoE
ƒ The WAN interface can be configured as PPPoE. This type of connection is usually used for a DSL
service and requires a username and password to connect.
ƒ Internet Connection Type: Select PPPoE from the drop‐down list.
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 Login: Specify the user name which is provided by your ISP.
ƒ Password: Specify the password which is provided by your ISP, and then verify it once again in
the next field.
ƒ Service Name: Specify the name of the ISP.
ƒ Type: Select a reconnection type: Keep Alive (A connection to the Internet is always maintained),
Connect on Demand: You have to open up the Web‐based management interface and click the
Connect button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet.
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.
ƒ Click on the Apply button to save the changes.
