MTU Size

• MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value

 

 

should only be changed if advised to do so by

 

 

Technical Support.

 

 

• Enter a value between 1 and 1500.

 

 

• This device will still auto-negotiate with the

 

 

remote server, to set the MTU size. The

 

 

smaller of the 2 values (auto-negotiated, or

 

 

entered here) will be used.

 

 

• For direct connections (not PPPoE or PPTP),

 

 

the MTU used is always 1500.

 

 

 

 

Identification

 

 

Hostname

Normally, there is no need to change the default

 

 

name, but if your ISP requests that you use a

 

 

particular Hostname, enter it here.

 

 

 

 

Domain

If your ISP provided a domain name, enter it here.

 

Name

Otherwise, this may be left blank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

MAC Address

Also called Network Adapter Address or Physical

 

 

Address. This is a low-level identifier, as seen from

 

 

the WAN port.

 

 

Normally there is no need to change this, but some

 

 

ISPs require a particular value, often that of the PC

 

 

initially used for Internet access.

 

 

You can use the Copy from PC button to copy your

 

 

PC's address into this field, the Default button to

 

 

insert the default value, or enter a value directly.

 

 

 

 

IP Address

 

 

Automatic

Also called Dynamic IP Address. This is the default,

 

 

and the most common.

 

 

Leave this selected if your ISP allocates an IP

 

 

Address to the Wireless Router upon connection.
