| This is the permanent global IP address for your | |
IP Address | account. This is the address that is visible outside | |
| your private network. Get this from your ISP. | |
|
| |
Subnet Mask | This is the Subnet mask for the WAN interface. Get | |
this from your ISP. | ||
| ||
|
| |
| This is the IP address of your ISP’s Gateway router. | |
| It provides the connection to the Router for IP routed | |
Gateway Address | traffic that is outside your ISP’s network. That is, this | |
will be the primary connection from the Router to | ||
| ||
| most of the Internet. Get this IP address from your | |
| ISP. | |
|
| |
ARP Server Address | This is not required for all IPoA connections. Check | |
(for IPoA connection only) | with your ISP for an ARP server IP address if this is | |
necessary for your IPoA connection. | ||
|
| |
| This is the IP address of the first choice for Domain | |
| Name Service (DNS) used to match the named URL | |
Primary DNS Address | web address used by most browsers with the actual | |
global IP address used for a web server. Usually this | ||
| ||
| will be a server owned by the ISP. Get this IP | |
| address from your ISP. | |
|
| |
Secondary DNS Address | This is the second choice for a DNS server. Get this | |
IP address from your ISP. | ||
| ||
|
| |
| The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be | |
| changed if you want to optimize efficiency for | |
| uploading data through the WAN interface. The | |
| default setting (1400 bytes) should be suitable for | |
MTU | most users. Some user may want to adjust the | |
setting to optimize performance for wireless traffic or | ||
| ||
| when low latency is desired (such as with Internet | |
| gaming). It is highly recommended that the user | |
| research how adjusting the MTU may affect network | |
| traffic for better or worse. | |
|
| |
| Similar to the MTU, except this applies to Maximum | |
| Received Unit size for downloading data. Most users | |
| will be happy with the default setting (1492 bytes). | |
| However this may also be optimized for fast | |
MRU | downloads of general bulk Internet traffic, for low | |
latency or for downloading to computers on the | ||
| ||
| Wireless LAN. As with the MTU setting, the user | |
| should carefully consider how changing the MRU may | |
| effect Internet downloads for all systems on your | |
| LAN. | |
