you aren’t given any login parameters (fixed IP Address, logging ID, etc), please select
Dynamic
IP
. If you are given a fixed IP (static IP), please select
Static IP
. If you are given a user name and
a password, please select the type of your ISP provided (PPPoE/BigPond/L2TP/PPTP). If you
are not sure which connection type you use currently, please contact your ISP to obtain the
correct information.

the router will automatically get IP parameters from your ISP.

MTU Size:
The normal MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value for most Ethernet networks
is 1500 Bytes. For some ISPs you need to reduce the MTU. But this is rarely required, and
should not be done unless you are sure it is necessary for your ISP connection.
If your ISP gives you one or two DNS addresses, select
Use These DNS Servers
and enter
the primary and secondary addresses into the correct fields. Otherwise, the DNS servers will
be assigned dynamically from your ISP.
