Configuring Network
WAN Configuration
Upstream
Bandwidth
Specify the upstream bandwidth of the WAN port. The value configured here is the
upper limit of the “Maximum Upstream Bandwidth” on
Transmission > Bandwidth
Control > Bandwidth Control
page, to make “Bandwidth Control” take effect, please
ensure this parameter is set correctly.
Downstream
Bandwidth
Specify the downstream bandwidth of the WAN port. The value configured here is the
lower limit of the “Maximum Downstream Bandwidth” on
Transmission > Bandwidth
Control > Bandwidth Control
page, to make “Bandwidth Control” take effect, please
ensure this parameter is set correctly.
MTU
Specify the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) of the WAN port.
MTU is the maximum data unit transmitted in the physical network. When L2TP is
selected, MTU can be set in the range of 576-1460 bytes. The default value is 1460.
Primary/
Secondary DNS
Optional. Enter the IP address of the DNS server provided by your ISP.
VLAN
Add the WAN port to a VLAN. Generally, you don’t need to manually configure it
unless required by your ISP.
By default, the WAN port is automatically assigned to a VLAN, and the egress rule of
the VLAN is UNTAG, so the packets are transmitted by the WAN port without VLAN
tags. If you want the WAN port to transmit packets with VLAN tag, you need to create
the corresponding VLAN first and configure its egress rule as TAG, then manually
add the WAN port to that VLAN. To create VLANs, go to
Network

VLAN
>
VLAN.
Note
: When using the IPTV function, either in Bridge mode or Custom mode,
the router will automatically create corresponding VLANs after you finished the
configuration, and add port 1 (WAN 1) to the VLANs. Users cannot then manually
select the VLAN that WAN 1 belongs to.
Secondary
Connection
Select the secondary connection type provided by your ISP
The secondary connection is required for L2TP connection. The router will get
some necessary information after the secondary connection succeeded. These
information will be used in the L2TP connection process.
VPN Server/
Domain Name
Enter the VPN Server/Domain Name provided by your ISP.
IP Address
Enter the IP address provided by your ISP for the secondary connection.
Subnet Mask
Enter the subnet mask provided by your ISP for the secondary connection.
Default Gateway
Enter the default gateway provided by your ISP for the secondary connection.
Primary/
Secondary DNS
Enter the primary/secondary DNS provided by your ISP for the secondary
connection.
Connect/
Disconnect
Click the button to active/terminate the connection.
