7.1.6 Ethernet Settings
While default settings for each WAN Ethernet port will be sufficient in most circumstances, you have the ability to control:
• Connect Method: DHCP (Automatic), Static (Manual), or PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet).
• MAC Address: You have the ability to change the MAC address, but typically this is unnecessary. You can match
this address with your device's address by clicking: "Clone Your PC's MAC Address".
Connect Method
Select the connection type that you need for this
WAN connection. You may need to check with your
ISP or system administrator for this information.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
is the most common configuration. Your router's Ethernet ports are automatically configured for DHCP connection.
DHCP automatically assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices in your networks. This is preferable in most
circumstances.
• Static allows you to input a specific IP address for your WAN connection; this should be provided by the ISP (if
supported).
• PPPoE should be configured with the username, password and other settings provided by your ISP.
If you want to use a Static (Manual) or PPPoE connection, you will need to fill out additional information.
