5.4.2 WAN

You can configure the WAN port parameters on this page.

First, please choose the WAN Connection Type (Dynamic IP/Static IP/PPPoE/802.1X + Dynamic IP/802.1X + Static IP/BigPond Cable/L2TP/PPTP) for Internet. The default type is Dynamic IP. If you aren’t given any login parameters (fixed IP Address, logging ID, etc), please select Dynamic IP. If you are given a fixed IP (static IP), please select Static IP. If you are given a user name and a password, please select the type of your ISP provided(PPPoE/BigPond/L2TP/ PPTP). If you are not sure which connection type you use currently, please contact your ISP to obtain the correct information.

1.If you choose Dynamic IP, the router will automatically get IP parameters from your ISP. You can see the page as follows (figure 5-4):

Figure 5-4 WAN – Dynamic IP

This page displays the WAN IP parameters assigned dynamically by your ISP, including IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, etc. Click the Renew button to renew the IP parameters from your ISP. Click the Release button to release the IP parameters.

MTU Size - The normal MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 Bytes. For some ISPs you need to reduce the MTU. But this is rarely required, and should not be done unless you are sure it is necessary for your ISP connection.

If your ISP gives you one or two DNS addresses, select Use These DNS Servers and enter the primary and secondary addresses into the correct fields. Otherwise, the DNS servers will be assigned dynamically from your ISP.

Note: If you get an address and find err��orwhen you go to a Web site, it is likely that yourDNS serversare set up improperly. You should contact yourISP to get DNS serveraddresses.
