View or change WAN settings

You can view or configure wide area network (WAN) settings for the Internet port. You
can set up a DMZ (demilitarized zone) server, change the maximum transmit unit (MTU)
size, and enable the router to respond to a ping to its WAN (Internet) port.
To view the WAN settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
Orbi network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup
The WAN Setup page displays.
5. View or change the following settings:
• Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection: DoS protection protects your LAN
against denial of service attacks such as Syn flood, Smurf Attack, Ping of Death,
and many others. Select this check box only in special circumstances.
• Default DMZ Server: This feature is sometimes helpful when you are playing
online games or videoconferencing, but it makes the firewall security less effective.
See Set up a default DMZ server on page 83.
• Respond to Ping on Internet Port: This feature allows your router to be
discovered. Use this feature only as a diagnostic tool or if you have a specific
reason.
• Disable IGMP Proxying: IGMP proxying allows a computer on the local area
network (LAN) to receive the multicast traffic it is interested in from the Internet.
If you do not need this feature, select this check box to disable it.
• MTU Size (in bytes): The normal MTU (maximum transmit unit) value for most
Ethernet networks is 1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections. Change
