Depending on the type of WAN connection, you can take one of the following sets of actions:

DHCP Connection

Clicking the DHCP Release button unassigns the router's IP address. The router will not respond to IP messages from the WAN side until you click the DHCP Renew button or power-up the router again. Clicking the DHCP Renew button causes the router to request a new IP address from the ISP's server.

PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP Connection

Depending on whether the WAN connection is currently established, you can click either the Connect to attempt to establish the WAN connection or the Disconnect to break the WAN connection.

BigPond Connection

Depending on whether you are currently logged in to BigPond, you can click either the BigPond Login to attempt to establish the WAN connection or the BigPond Logout to break the WAN connection.

LAN Computers

This area of the screen continually updates to show all DHCP enabled computers and devices connected to the LAN side of your router. The detection "range" is limited to the address range as configured in DHCP Server. Computers that have an address outside of this range will not show. If the DHCP Client (i.e. a computer configured to "Automatically obtain an address") supplies a Host Name then that will also be shown. Any computer or device that has a static IP address that lies within the detection "range" may show, however its host name will not.

IGMP Multicast memberships

If IGMP is enabled, this area of the screen show all multicast groups of which any LAN devices are members.
