When this ping test fails, the router will switch to the 3G connection to ensure an internet connection is always available.
Select to use either a static or dynamically assigned IP address for your connection. When selecting to utilise a static IP
address, you will also need to enter the PPTP IP Address, PPTP Subnet Mask and PPTP Default gateway in use for the
connection
(Refer to your PPTP administrator for more information) .

Select to enable or disable the MPPE security extensions for the PPTP connection.
Allows you to select the method of multicast or disable it.
Allows you to enable or disable IGMP Snooping. IGMP Snooping configures the router to listen to IGMP conversations
between hosts and routers and maintain a map of the links that need IP multicast streams.
VLAN tagging is primarily used in virtual networks which span over multiple switches. VLAN tagging involves the router
inserting a VLAN ID into a packet header in order to identify which CLAN the packet belongs to. You may enable VLAN
tagging and specify the ID with a value between 1 and 4094.
