ESR-9710 Wireless N Gigabit Router

Version 1.0

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.

ƒMAC Address: If you need to change the MAC address of the rounter's WAN-side Ethernet interface, either type in an alternate MAC address (for example, the MAC address of the router initially connected to the ISP) or click on Clone Your PCs MAC Address.

ƒClick on the Save Settings button to store these settings.

6.2.4.5 L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol)

ƒThe WAN interface can be configured as L2TP. L2TP (Layer Two Tunneling Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your ISP. This method of connection requires you to enter a user name and password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet. The supported authentication protocols are PAP and CHAP.

ƒSelect the L2TP from the My Internet Connection drop-down list.

ƒAddress Mode: L2TP can be used with a dynamic or static IP address. If you select the Dynamic IP radio button, then the IIP address in the next field is not required. However, if you select the Static IP radio button, then the IP address in the next field is required.

ƒL2TP Address: Specify the IP address

ƒL2TP Subnet Mask: Specify the subnet mask for the IP address.

ƒL2TP Gateway IP Address: Specify the IP address of the L2TP gateway.
