7.4 Router
7.4.1 WAN Settings
This page allows you to configure the WAN interface as DHCP, Static IP, PPPoE or PPTP.
7.4.1.1
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.
Internet Connection Type: Select the DHCP from the drop‐down list.
Account Name: Specify an account name if your ISP has provided you with one.
Domain Name: Specify a domain name if the ISP has provided you with one.
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 value is 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.
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.
