WAN
WAN is short for Wide Area Network. The WAN settings can be referred to as the Public settings. All IP information in the WAN settings are public IP addresses which are accessible on the Internet.
The WAN settings consist of three main options: Dynamic IP Address, Static IP Address, and PPPoE. Select the appropriate option and fill in the information needed to connect to your ISP.

Please be sure to remove any existing PPPoE client software installed on your computers
Dynamic IP Address
Choose Dynamic IP Address to obtain IP address information automatically from your ISP. Select this option if your ISP does not give you any IP numbers to use. This option is commonly used for Cable modem services.
Host Name: The Host Name field is optional but may be required by some ISPs. The host name is the device name of the Router.
MAC Address: The default MAC address is set to the WAN's physical interface MAC address on the Broadband Router. You can use the "Clone MAC Address" button to copy the MAC address of the Ethernet Card installed by your ISP and replace the WAN MAC address with this MAC address. It is not recommended that you change the default MAC address unless required by your ISP.
