6.4.1 WAN Settings
Click on the WAN Settings link under the Router drop‐down menu. This page
allows you to configure the WAN interface as DHCP, Static IP, or PPPoE.
6.4.1.1 WAN ‐ DHCP
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 values are 1500 bytes for an Ethernet connection and 1492 bytes for a
PPPoE 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.
