Respond to Ping on Internet WAN Port

If you want the modem router to respond to a 'ping' from the Internet, select the Respond to Ping on Internet WAN Port check box. This should only be used as a diagnostic tool, since it allows your modem router to be discovered. Do not select this box unless you have a specific reason to do so.

MTU Size

The normal MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 Bytes, or 1492 Bytes for PPPoE 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.

Configuring LAN IP Settings

The LAN IP Setup menu allows configuration of LAN IP services such as DHCP and RIP. These features can be found under the Advanced heading in the Main Menu of the browser interface.

The modem router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act as a DHCP server. The modem router’s default LAN IP configuration is:

LAN IP addresses—192.168.0.1

Subnet mask—255.255.255.0
