IP Address
This is the permanent global IP address for your account. This is the
address that is visible outside your private network. Get this from your
ISP.
Subnet Mask
This is the Subnet mask for the WAN interface. Get this from your ISP.
ISP Gateway Address
This is the IP address of your ISP’s Gateway router. It provides the
connection to the Router for IP routed traffic that is outside your ISP’s
network. That is, this will be the primary connection from the Router
to most of the Internet. Get this IP address from your ISP.

field and then click the
Clone MAC Address

Primary DNS Address
This is the IP address of the first choice for Domain Name Service

browsers with the actual global IP address used for a web server.

your ISP.

your ISP.
MTU
The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to
optimize efficiency for uploading data through the WAN interface. The
default setting (
1500
bytes) should be suitable for most users. Some
user may want to adjust the setting to optimize performance for
wireless traffic or when low latency is desired (such as with Internet
gaming). It is highly recommended that the user research how
adjusting the MTU may affect network traffic for better or worse.
