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.

 

 

 

When this is enabled, the Router will be considered

 

to be the primary gateway to the Internet and WAN

Default Route

for systems on your network. If you are using the

Router on a network with one or more alternative

 

 

gateway routers, you may prefer to disable this if

 

you will use another router as the primary gateway.

 

 

 

Network Address Translation may be enabled or

 

disabled with the pull-down menu. Keep in mind that

 

disabling NAT allows only a single computer to be

NAT

used for Internet access through the Router. NAT is

 

enabled for the Router on all connections (i.e. Pvc0 –

 

Pvc7) if your Router is set up for multiple virtual

 

connections.

 

 

 

Use this to universally enable or disable the Firewall

 

and Filter features available in the Router. If you

Firewall

disable this you will not be able to configure settings

 

in the Firewall or Filters menus in the Advanced

 

directory.

 

 

 

This is used to determine how global IP settings are

 

handled for the WAN interface. Typically PPPoE or

IP Control

PPPoA connections will use the default setting for

Dynamic IP. Some users will be given a specific IP

 

address for the WAN interface. In this case you need

 

to change this setting to Static IP. When Static IP is

 

selected in the IP Control menu, you need to type in
