The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) setting may need to be adjusted. By default, the MTU is set at 1500. For most DSL users, it is strongly recommended to use MTU 1492. If you are having some difficulties, perform the following steps:

B.Enter the password, if asked. (The default password is admin.)

C.Go to Setup => WAN tab.

D.Look for the MTU option, and select Enable. In the Size field, enter 1492.

E.Click the Save Settings button to continue.

16.I need to use port triggering.

Port triggering looks at the outgoing port services used and will trigger the Router to open a specific incoming port, depending on which port an Internet application uses. Follow these steps:

A.To connect to the Router, go to the web browser, and enter http://192.168.1.1 or the IP address of the Router.

B.Enter the password, if asked. (The default password is admin.)

C.Click the Firewall => Port Range Triggering tab.

D.Enter any name you want to use for the Application Name.

E.Enter the Start and End Ports of the Triggered Port Range. Check with your Internet application provider for more information on which outgoing port services it is using.

F.Enter the Start and End Ports of the Forwarded Port Range. Check with your Internet application provider for more information on which incoming port services are required by the Internet application.

Once completed with the configuration, click the Save Settings button.

17.When I enter a URL or IP address, I get a time-out error or am prompted to retry.
