–
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.
Internet Connection Type
: Select
PPPoE
from the drop-down list.
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.
Login
: Specify the user name which is provided by your ISP.
Password:
Specify the password which is provided by your ISP, and then verify it
once again in the next field.
