PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)
The WAN interface can be configured as PPPoE. This type of connection is usually
used for a DSL service and requires a username and password to connect.
Select the
PPPoE
from the
My Internet Connection
drop-down list.
°
Address Mode
: PPPoE can be used with a dynamic or static IP address. If
you select the
Dynamic IP
radio button, then the IP address in the next field
is not required. However, if you select the
Static IP
radio button, then the IP
address in the next field is required.
°
User Name
: Specify the user name which is provided by your ISP.
°
Password:
Specify the password which is provided by your ISP, and then
verify it once again in the next field.
°
Service Name
: Specify the name of the ISP.
°
Reconnect Mode
: Select a reconnection time:
Always on
(A connection to
the Internet is always maintained),
On demand
(A connection to the Internet

is made as needed),
Manual
: You have to open up the Web-based
management interface and click the Connect button manually any time that
you wish to connect to the Internet.
°
Maximum Idle Time
: Specify the time after which the router will
automatically disconnect the current session when no data-traffic has been
detected for the set period of time.
°
Primary / Secondary DNS Address:
Specify the primary and secondary IP
address, which is assigned by your ISP.
°
MTU
: The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines
the largest packet size (in bytes) that the router will send to the WAN. If LAN
devices send larger packets, the router will break them into smaller packets.
Ideally, you should set this to match the MTU of the connection to your ISP.
Typical values are 1500 bytes for an Ethernet connection and 1492 bytes for
a PPPoE connection. If the router's MTU is set too high, packets will be
fragmented downstream. If the router's MTU is set too low, the router will
fragment packets unnecessarily and in extreme cases may be unable to
establish some connections. In either case, network performance can suffer.
°
MAC Address
: If you need to change the MAC address of the router's WAN-
side Ethernet interface, either type in an alternate MAC address (for example,
the MAC address of the router initially connected to the ISP) or click on
Clone
Your PCs MAC Address
.

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)
The WAN interface can be configured as PPTP. PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling
Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your ISP. This method of
connection is primarily used in Europe. This method of connection requires you to
enter a username and password (provided by your ISP) to gain access to the
Internet. The supported authentication protocols are PAP and CHAP.
Select the
PPTP
from the
My Internet Connection
drop-down list.
°
Address Mode
: PPTP can be used with a dynamic or static IP address. If you
select the
Dynamic IP
radio button, then the IIP address in the next field is
not required. However, if you select the
Static IP
radio button, then the IP
address in the next field is required.
°
PPTP Address
: Specify the IP address
°
PPTP Subnet Mask
:
Specify the subnet mask for the IP address.

PPTP Gateway IP Address
: Specify the IP address of the PPTP gateway.
°
PPTP Server IP Address
: If the PPTP Server’s IP address is different from
the default gateway, then you may specify it here.
°
User Name
: Specify the user name which is provided by your ISP.
°
Password:
Specify the password which is provided by your ISP, and then
verify it once again in the next field.

Advanced Wireless
This page allows you to configure the fragmentation threshold, RTS threshold,
beacon period, transmit power, DTIM interval, wireless isolation, WMM and WDS
(wireless distribution system).
°
Transmit Power
: You may control the output power of the device by
selecting a value from the drop-down list. This feature can be helpful in
restricting the coverage area of the wireless network.
°
Beacon Period
: Beacons are packets sent by a wireless Access Point to
synchronize wireless devices. Specify a Beacon Period value between 20 and
1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds.
°
RTS Threshold
: Packets over the specified size will use the RTS/CTS
mechanism to maintain performance in noisy networks and preventing hidden
nodes from degrading the performance. Specify a value between 1 and
65535. The default value is 2346.
°
Fragment Threshold
: Packets over the specified size will be fragmented in
order to improve performance on noisy networks. Specify a value between
256 and 65535. The default value is 2346.
°
DTIM Interval
: A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window
for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless Access
Point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it
sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the
beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The
default value is 1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255.
°
Wireless Isolation
: Place a check in this box in order to prevent associated
wireless clients from communicating with each other.
°
WMM Enable
: Enable WMM in order to help control latency and jitter when
transmitting multimedia content over a wireless connection.
