CHAPTER 6 Internet Settings

LAN Setting

MAC Address — The shared physical layer address for the Wireless Broadband Router’s LAN ports.

DHCP Server — Enable this feature to assign IP settings to wired and wireless clients connected to the Gateway Router. The IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and Domain Name Server (DNS) address are dynamically assigned to clients. (Options: Enable, Disable; Default: Enable)

Start/End IP Address — Specify the start and end IP addresses of a range that the DHCP server can allocate to DHCP clients. Note that the address pool range is always in the same subnet as the unit’s IP setting. The maximum clients that the unit can support is 253.

Primary DNS Server — The IP address of Domain Name Servers on the network. A DNS maps numerical IP addresses to domain names and can be used to identify network hosts by familiar names instead of the IP addresses.

Secondary DNS Server — The IP address of the Secondary Domain Name Server on the network.

Default Gateway — The default gateway is the IP address of the router for the Wireless Broadband Router, which is used if the requested destination address is not on the local subnet.

Lease Time — Select a time limit for the use of an IP address from the IP pool. When the time limit expires, the client has to request a new IP address. The lease time is expressed in seconds. (Options: Forever, Two weeks, One week, Two days, One day, Half day, Two hours, One hour, Half hour; Default: One week)

Statically Assigned — Up to three devices with specific MAC addresses can be assigned static IP addresses. That is, the DHCP server always assigns these devices the same IP addresses.

LLTD — Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) is a Microsoft proprietary discovery protocol which can be used for both wired and wireless networks. (Options: Disable/Enable, Default: Enable)

IGMP Proxy — Enables IGMP proxy on the Wireless Broadband Router. (Options: Disable/Enable, Default: Disable)

UPNP — Allows the device to advertise its UPnP capabilities. (Default: Enable)

Router Advertisement — Enables the sending and receiving of routing advertisements to discover the existence of neighboring routers. (Options: Disable/Enable, Default: Disable)

PPPoE Relay — When enabled, the Wireless Broadband Router will forward PPPoE messages to clients. Clients are then able to connect to the PPPoE service through the WAN port. (Options: Disable/Enable, Default: Disable)
