Domain Name
: Specify a domain name if the ISP has provided you with
one.
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.
IP Address:
Specify the IP address for this device, which is assigned by
your ISP.
Subnet Mask:
Specify the subnet mask for this IP address, which is
assigned by your ISP.
Default Gateway:
Specify the IP address of the default gateway, which is
assigned by your ISP.
Domain Name Service
: Select
Get Automatically from ISP
if the ISP
will provide the DNS address, if not, select
Use these DNS servers
and
specify the primary and secondary DNS server IP address.
Router MAC Address
: If you need to change the MAC address of the
router’s WAN interface, either type in an alternate MAC address (for
example, the MAC address of the router initially connected to the ISP) or
click on the
Clone
MAC button.
Click
on
the
Apply
button to save the changes.
6.4.1.3 WAN – PPPoE
The WAN interface can be configured as PPPoE. This type of connection
is usually used for a DSL service and requires a username and password
to connect.
