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 service.
The ISP will then only grant Internet access to requests from a computer or router with this particular
MAC address. This router has a different MAC address than the computer or router that initially
connected to the ISP. If you need to change the MAC address of the rounter's WAN-side Ethernet
interface, either type in an alternate MAC address (for example, the MAC address of the router initially
connected to the ISP) or copy the MAC address of a PC. To copy the MAC address of the computer that
initially connected to the ISP, connect to the router using that computer and click the Clone Your PC's
