IP Address:

 Specify the IP address for this device, which is assigned by your ISP.  

ƒ

 

Subnet Mask:

 Specify the subnet mask for this IP address, which is assigned by 

your ISP.  

ƒ

 

Default Gateway:

 Specify the IP address of the default gateway, which is assigned 

by your ISP.  

ƒ

 

Primary / Secondary DNS Address:

 Specify the primary and secondary IP address, 

which is assigned by your ISP.  

ƒ

 

MTU

: 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.  

ƒ

 

MAC Address

: 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 click on 

Clone Your PCs MAC 

Address

. 

ƒ

 

Click on the 

Save Settings

 button to store these settings.  

 
 

6.2.4.2  DHCP Connection (Dynamic IP Address) 

ƒ

  The WAN interface can be configured as a DHCP Client in which the ISP provides 

the IP address to the device. This is also known as Dynamic IP.   

ƒ

 Select 

the

 Dynamic IP (DHCP) 

from the 

My Internet Connection

 drop-down list.
