Wireless Broadband Router User manual
4.2.1 Dynamic IP Address
This is the default setting for the router. DHCP is most commonly used for cable modem connections. There
is no configuration necessary for this setting because the ISP will automatically supply the information.
Choose this type while Cable mode is used.
z
Clone MAC
: Your ISP may require a particular MAC address in order for you to connect to the Internet
only. This MAC address is the PC’s MAC address that your ISP had originally connected your Internet
connection to. Type in your PC’s MAC address in this section to replace the WAN MAC address of
WRT-416 (you have to be using that PC for the Clone MAC Address button to work).
z
MTU
: MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest packet size permitted for Internet
transmission. Enter your MTU number in the text-box to set the limitation. The recommended size,
entered in the Size field, is 1496. You should leave this value in the 1200 to 1500 range.
z
DNS
: Check "DNS" and enter the IP address to specify DNS server for LAN DHCP server.
Click “Apply” to save these settings with the Router. The System will apply the new settings and start
rebooting right away. After reboot, the Wireless Router will enable these settings with the Router.
4.2.2 PPPoE
Some DSL-based ISPs use PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) to establish Internet connections.
If you are connected to the Internet through a DSL line, check with your ISP to obtain all necessary
information.
