There are three submenus under the Network menu (shown in Figure 5-2): WAN, LAN, and MAC Clone. Click any of them, and
you will be able to configure the corresponding function.
5.4.1 WAN
Choose menu “Network—>WAN,” then you can configure the IP parameters of the WAN on the screen below.

You can see the page as follows:
Figure 5-4. WAN—Dynamic IP.
This page displays the WAN IP parameters assigned dynamically by your ISP, including IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway,
etc. Click the Renew button to renew the IP parameters from your ISP. Click the Release button to release the IP parameters.
If you want to do some advanced configurations, click the Advanced button.
• MTU (Bytes)—The normal MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 bytes. We recommend
that you do not change the default MTU size unless required by your ISP.
