Configuring Network
WAN Configuration
Configuration Guide
11
MTU
Specify the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) of the WAN port.
MTU is the maximum data unit transmitted in the physical network. When Dynamic
IP is selected, MTU can be set in the range of 576-1500 bytes. The default value is
1500.
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.
Get IP using
Unicast DHCP
The broadcasting requirement may not be supported by a few ISPs. Select this
option if you can not get the IP address from your ISP even with a normal network
connection. This option is not required generally.
