ESR-9710 Wireless N Gigabit Router

Version 1.0

IP Address: Specify the IP address for this device, which is assigned by your ISP.

Subnet Mask: Specify the subnet mask for this IP address, which is assigned by your ISP.

Default Gateway: Specify the IP address of the default gateway, which is assigned by your ISP.

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.

6.2.4.2 DHCP Connection (Dynamic IP Address)

The WAN interface can be configured as a DHCP Client in which the ISP provides the IP address to the device. This is also known as Dynamic IP.

Select the Dynamic IP (DHCP) from the My Internet Connection drop-down list.
