Reconnect Mode: Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The router allows you to
set the reconnection mode. The settings are:
Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed.
Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect
button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet.
Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is
disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" and "Manual"
reconnect modes.
WAN Interface IP Type
Static: If your ISP has assigned a fixed IP address, select this option. The ISP provides the
values for the following fields for WAN Interface IP Setting: IP Address, Subnet Mask ,
Default Gateway, and optional for DNS Server
Dynamic: If the ISP's servers assign the router's IP addressing upon establishing a connection,
select this option.
Russia PPTP
The Russia PPTP can configure IP address on the WAN interface and establish PPTP to get IP
address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS for ANOTHER logical IP interface on WAN
port. So the physical WAN port will have 2 logical IP interfaces and can communicate with
internal ISP's network resources and also communicate with Internet through PPTP tunnel. It is
specified by Russia Cobrina ISP, user can configure it the same as the normal PPTP and PPTP
server IP Address can use the domain name string.
WAN MTU Setting
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. t modes.
MAC Address Clone
Each networking device has it's own unique MAC address defined by the hardware
manufacturer. Some ISP's may check your computer's MAC address. Some ISP's record the
MAC address of the network adapter in the computer or router used to initially connect to their
