First, please choose the WAN Connection Type (Dynamic IP/Static IP/PPPoE/802.1X + Dynamic
IP/802.1X + Static IP/Big Pond Cable/L2TP/PPTP) for the Internet. If the device works in the AP
Client mode, it only provides five kinds of connection type, “Dynamic IP”, “Static IP”, “PPPoE”,
“L2TP”, and “PPTP”. The default type is Dynamic IP. If you aren’t given any login parameters (fixed
IP Address, logging ID, etc), please select Dynsamic 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.

You can see the page as follows (Figure 5-5):

MTU Size - The normal MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value for most Ethernet networks

should not be done unless you are sure it is necessary for your ISP connection.
