Link:
Configure
When you click the
Configure
link, the Broadband
Configure
screen appears. Here you can reconfigure your
type of broadband connection should it change in the future.
±
Broadband Source Override
- Auto (automatically detected), DSL - Line 1, DSL - Line 2, DSL - Line 1 / Line -2
(Bonded), or Ethernet WAN.
If you switch from DSL to Ethernet or from Ethernet to DSL, the device will prcoceed to reconnect as in its ini-
tial connection to the Internet, as described earlier. See
“Accessing the Web Management Interface” on
page 21
.
±
The WAN connection is automatically configured. However, you can adjust the
Maximum allowable MTU
(maximum transmittable unit) value, if your service provider suggests it. The default 1500 is the maximum
value, but some services require other values (1492 is common).
If you make any change here, click the
Save
button.

Home Network Tab
When you click the
Home Network
tab, the Home Network Status page appears.
The Home Network Status page displays information
about the NVG599 device’s local area network.
If you click the
Run Congestion Detection
button, the
device will generate statistics for each of the 11
channels available, displaying:
±
Channel number
±
AP (access point) count
±
Congestion score (1 - 10) - Note that higher val-
ues mean lower congestion.
The wireless congestion feature provides simple data to
the user to show the level of network congestion in
each wireless channel.
This data can be used to
determine router placement or to determine which
channels to avoid.
The display tells the user how many access points (APs)
are active within each channel, and provides a score of
1 - 10 to indicate how clear the channel is.
A higher
score indicates less congestion in a channel; thus, a 10
indicates a channel extremely clear of wireless traffic
and noise.
Alternatively, a score of 1 indicates more
severe congestion in a channel.
You can clear the current statistics information by
clicking the
Clear Statistics
button.
