•Reconnect Mode: Select a reconnection time: Always on (A connection to the Internet is always maintained), On demand (A connection to the Internet is made as needed), Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet.

•Maximum Idle Time:

•Primary / Secondary DNS Address: Specify the primary and secondary IP address, which is assigned by your ISP.

•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.

•MAC Address: If you need to change the MAC address of the rounter's WAN-side Ethernet interface, either type in an alternate MAC address (for example, the MAC address of the router initially connected to the ISP) or click on Clone Your PCs MAC Address.

•Click on the Save Settings button to store these settings.

6.2.4.4 PPTP (POINT-TO-POINT TUNNELING PROTOCOL)

•The WAN interface can be configured as PPTP. PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your ISP. This method of connection is primarily used in Europe. This method of connection requires you to enter a username and password (provided by your ISP) to gain access to the Internet. The supported authentication protocols are PAP and CHAP.

•Select the PPTP from the My Internet Connection drop-down list.

•Address Mode: PPTP can be used with a dynamic or static IP address. If you select the Dynamic IP radio button, then the IIP address in the next field is not required.
