1.User Name

This space is provided to type in your user name that was assigned by your ISP.

2.Password

Type in your password and re-type it into the “Retype Password” box to confirm it.

3.Service Name

A service name is rarely required by an ISP. If you are not sure if your ISP requires a service name, leave this blank.

4.MTU

The MTU setting should never be changed unless your ISP gives you a specific MTU setting. Making changes to the MTU setting can cause problems with your Internet connection including disconnection from the Internet, slow Internet access, and problems with Internet applications working properly.

5.Maximum Idle Time

This feature is used to automatically disconnect the Router from your ISP when there is no activity for a specified period of time. For instance, placing a check mark next to this option and entering “5” into the minute field will cause the Router to disconnect from the Internet after five minutes of no Internet activity. This option should be used if you pay for your Internet service by the minute.
