Some online games and videoconferencing applications are incompatible with NAT. The WPN824
router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work properly with them, but
there are other applications that may not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run
the application properly if that computer's IP address is entered as the default in the PORTS Menu.
If one local computer acts as a game or videoconferencing host, enter its IP address as the default.

Configuring the WAN Setup Options

The WAN Setup options let you configure a DMZ server, change the MTU size and enable the
wireless router to respond to a Ping on the WAN port. These options are discussed below.

Connect Automatically, as Required

Normally, this option should be checked to enable it. An Internet connection will be made
automatically after each timeout, whenever Internet-bound traffic is detected. This provides
connection on demand and is potentially cost-saving in places in Europe for example where
Internet services charge by the minute.
