2.4.3.1.2 Advanced Settings
The following are options in the Advanced Settings section tab. The options displayed depends on the
protocol being used.

Override MAC address: Allows you to specify a different MAC address other than the AP's original
MAC address. This is useful if the ISP uses the MAC address of a AP to identify a customer. Suppose
that the AP needs to be replaced. The new AP can take on the MAC address of the previous AP in
order to continue having internet access.

Override MTU: Sets the maximum transmission unit (MTU), the default being 1500 bytes. Unless,
your ISP requires, it is not recommended to change this setting.

Use gateway metric: Allows you to specify a gateway metric. This acts as a cost for choosing the
gateway when a connected device has to select between multiple available gateways. The gateway
with the smallest metric is chosen.

Boot as DHCP client: Boot as DHCP client and switch to static if no offer is received.

Use broadcast flag: When sending DHCP requests, a client can indicate if it wants an answer in
unicast or broadcast, by setting the broadcast flag. This is required for certain ISPs. Unchecked by
default.

Use default gateway: Configures a default route. Checked by default.

Use DNS servers advertised by peer: Uses the DNS settings advertised by the DHCP server. Checked by
default.

Client ID to send when requesting DHCP: Sets the identifier that may be required by the ISP or
network administrator. If not stated, the MAC address of the client will be sent.

Vendor Class to send when requesting DHCP: Identifies the vendor of a DHCP client for the
enhancement of vendor-specific DHCP functionality.
