Responding to a Ping on the Internet WAN Port
If you want the router to respond to a 'ping' from the Internet, select the checkbox for Respond to Ping on Internet WAN Port. This should only be used as a diagnostic tool, since it allows your router to be discovered by Internet scanners. Do not select this checkbox unless you have a specific reason to do so, such as when troubleshooting your connection.
Setting the MTU Size
The normal MTU value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 bytes, 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections, or 1436 for PPTP connections. For some ISPs, you may need to reduce the MTU, but this is rarely required and should not be done unless you are sure it is necessary for your ISP connection. For more information, see “Changing the MTU” on page
To change the MTU size:
1.Under MTU Size, enter a new size between 64 and 1500.
2.Click Apply to save the new configuration.
Configuring Static Routes
Static routes provide additional routing information to your router. Under normal circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network.
