Description
This specifies the connection type and encapsulation method used for your
Dynamic IP Address connection. The options available are Bridged IP LLC or
Bridged IP VC-Mux.
This is not always necessary, but may be required for some ISPs. Type in the
MAC address of your computer's Ethernet adapter in the Cloned MAC Address
field and click the Clone MAC Address button. This will copy the information to
a file used by the Router to present to the ISP's server used for DHCP. Some
ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer's Ethernet adapter
when you first access their network. If you want to later replace the cloned
MAC address with the factory default setting, type in all zeros - 0:0:0:0:0:0 -
and click the Clone MAC Address button.

The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to optimize
efficiency for uploading data through the WAN interface. The default setting
(1400 bytes) should be suitable for most users. Some user may want to
adjust the setting to optimize performance for wireless traffic or when low
latency is desired (such as with Internet gaming). It is highly recommended
that the user research how adjusting the MTU may affect network traffic for
better or worse.
When this is enabled, the Router will be considered to be the primary gateway
to the Internet and WAN for systems on your network. If you are using the
Router on a network with one or more alternative gateway routers, you may
prefer to disable this if you will use another router as the primary gateway.
Network Address Translation may be enabled or disabled with the pull-down
menu. Keep in mind that disabling NAT allows only a single computer to be
used for Internet access through the Router. NAT is enabled and disabled for
the Router on all connections (i.e. Pvc0 – Pvc7) if your Router is set up for
multiple virtual connections.
Use this to universally enable or disable the Firewall and Filter features
available in the Router. If you disable this you will not be able to configure
settings in the Firewall Configuration menu or Filters menus in the
Advanced directory.
