MTU(Bytes)
- The normal MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value for most Ethernet
networks is 1500 Bytes. It is not recommended that you change the default MTU size
unless required by your ISP.
•
Enable IGMP Proxy
- IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is used to manage
multicasting on TCP/IP networks. Some ISPs use IGMP to perform remote configuration
for client devices, such as the modem router. The default value is enabled, and if you
are not sure, please contact your ISP or just leave it.

applications. If you cannot get the IP address normally, you can choose this option. (It
is rarely required.)

Set DNS server manually
- If your ISP gives you one or two DNS addresses, select Set
DNS server manually and enter the primary and secondary addresses into the correct
fields. Otherwise, the DNS servers will be assigned automatically from your ISP.
