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 four options: Dynamic IP Address, Static IP Address, PPPoE, and Others. Select the appropriate option and fill in the information needed to connect to your ISP.
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 Broadband Router.
