Internet Connection Type: Select the DHCP from the
Account Name: Specify an account name if your ISP has provided you with one.
Domain Name: Specify a domain name if the ISP has provided you with one.
MTU: The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the largest packet size (in bytes) that the router will send to the WAN. If LAN devices send larger packets, the router will break them into smaller packets. Ideally, you should set this to match the MTU of the connection to your ISP. Typical values are 1500 bytes for an Ethernet connection and 1492 bytes for a PPPoE connection. If the router's MTU is set too high, packets will be fragmented downstream. If the router's MTU is set too low, the router will fragment packets unnecessarily and in extreme cases may be unable to establish some connections. In either case, network performance can suffer.
Domain Name Service: Select Get Automatically from ISP if the ISP will provide the DNS address, if not, select Use these DNS servers and specify the primary and secondary DNS server IP address.
Router MAC Address: If you need to change the MAC address of the router’s WAN interface, either type in an alternate MAC address (for example, the MAC address of the router initially connected to the ISP) or click on the Clone MAC button.
Click on the Apply button to save the changes.
