Identification
Normally, there is no need to change the default name, but if your
Hostname
ISP requests that you use a particular Hostname, enter it here.
If your ISP provided a domain name, enter it here. Otherwise, this
Domain Name
may be left blank.
WAN Port MAC
Also called Network Adapter Address or Physical Address. This is a
Address
low-level identifier, as seen from the WAN port.
Normally there is no need to change this, but some ISPs require a
particular value, often that of the PC initially used for Internet access.
You can use the Copy from PC button to copy your PC's address into
this field, the Default button to insert the default value, or enter a
value directly.

MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value should only be
changed if advised to do so by Technical Support.
Enter a value between 1 and 1500.
This device will still auto-negotiate with the remote server, to set
the MTU size. The smaller of the 2 values (auto-negotiated, or
entered here) will be used.
For direct connections (not PPPoE or PPTP), the MTU used is
always 1500.
