Specify the upstream bandwidth of the WAN port. The value configured here is the
upper limit of the "Maximum Upstream Bandwidth" on Transmission > Bandwidth
Control > Bandwidth Control page, to make "Bandwidth Control" take effect, please
ensure this parameter is set correctly.
Specify the downstream bandwidth of the WAN port. The value configured here is the
lower limit of the "Maximum Downstream Bandwidth" on Transmission > Bandwidth
Control > Bandwidth Control page, to make "Bandwidth Control" take effect, please
ensure this parameter is set correctly.
Specify the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) of the WAN port.
MTU is the maximum data unit transmitted in the physical network. When PPTP is
selected, MTU can be set in the range of 576-1420 bytes. The default value is 1420.
Optional. Enter the IP address of the DNS server provided by your ISP.
Add the WAN port to a VLAN. Generally, you don't need to manually configure it
unless required by your ISP.
By default, the WAN port is automatically assigned to a VLAN by default, and the
egress rule of the VLAN is UNTAG, so the packets are transmitted by the WAN port
without VLAN tags. If you want the WAN port to transmit packets with VLAN tag, you
need to create the corresponding VLAN first and configure its egress rule as TAG,
then manually add the WAN port to that VLAN. To create VLANs, go to Network >
VLAN > VLAN.
Note: When using the IPTV function, either in Bridge mode or Custom mode,
the router will automatically create corresponding VLANs after you finished the
configuration, and add port 1 (WAN 1) to the VLANs. Users cannot then manually
select the VLAN that WAN 1 belongs to.
Select the secondary connection type provided by your ISP
The secondary connection is required for PPTP connection. The router will get
some necessary information after the secondary connection succeeded. These
information will be used in the PPTP connection process.
Enter the VPN Server/Domain Name provided by your ISP.
Enter the IP address provided by your ISP for the secondary connection.
Enter the subnet mask provided by your ISP for the secondary connection.
Enter the default gateway provided by your ISP for the secondary connection.
Enter the primary/secondary DNS provided by your ISP for the secondary
connection.
Click the button to active/terminate the connection.
