Wireless-N Gigabit Security Router with VPN

WAN

The WAN Setup screen provides Internet Connection Type and DDNS configurations on the WAN port of the Wireless Router. Before starting, you need to find out the Internet Connection Type and settings used by your ISP. If the Router is used as an Intranet Router, you can mostly use the default settings. If you want to use the dynamic DNS feature, you will need to sign up for a DDNS service.

Internet Connection Type

The Router supports six connection types. Each WAN Setup screen and available options will differ depending on what kind of connection type you select.

Automatic Configuration - DHCP

By default, the Router’s Configuration Type is set to Automatic Configuration - DHCP. The Router will get its IP address from a DHCP server of the ISP. Most cable modem ISPs use this option.

Static IP

If your connection uses a permanent IP address to connect to the Internet, then select Static IP.

Internet IP Address. This is the Router’s IP address on the WAN port that can be reached from the Internet. Your ISP will provide you with the IP Address you need to specify here.

Subnet Mask. This is the Router’s Subnet Mask on the WAN port. Your ISP will provide you this information and your IP Address.

Default Gateway. Your ISP will provide you with the Default Gateway (Router) to reach the Internet.

Primary DNS (Required) and Secondary DNS (Optional). Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS (Domain Name System) Server IP Address to resolve host name to IP address mapping.
