Depending upon your Internet Service Provider or the type of connection you selected in the previous
step, one of three screens will appear. If you are unsure of any of the information, please contact your
Internet Service Provider (ISP) for details.

DHCP Connection (Dynamic IP Address)
requires you to enter the MAC address of the computer
that was originally connected to your broadband modem. If you are using that computer, click on
the
Clone Your PC’s MAC Address
button and the MAC address is automatically copied. If your
ISP requires you to enter a Host Name, please do so.

Password. You must also verify the Password. If your ISP requires a Service Name entry, please
enter it here.

WAN
The WAN section is where your Internet Connection mode is selected. Your Internet Service Provider
(ISP) determines the type of connection that you use.
Modes
There are three connection modes to choose from as shown below. If you are unsure of your connection
settings, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and you can enter the necessary information
on the QIG or print this page and write the settings for future reference.
Primary DNS Server: _____._____._____._____
Secondary DNS Server: _____._____._____._____
±
Static
: Used when your ISP provides you a set IP address that does not change. The IP information
is manually entered in your IP configuration settings.
IP Address: _____._____._____._____
Subnet Mask: _____._____._____._____
Default Gateway: _____._____._____._____
±
DHCP
: A method of connection where the ISP assigns your IP address when your computer
requests one from the ISP’s server. Some ISP’s require you to make some settings on your side
before your computer can connect to the Internet.
Host Name:______________________
±
PPPoE
: A method of connection that requires you to enter a
Username
and
Password
(provided
by your Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet.
Username:______________________
Password:______________________
Service Name (Optional):______________________
All three modes have some common configuration options. The Primary and Secondary DNS Server
settings are required for Static configurations and optional for DHCP and PPPoE configurations. The
Advanced options on the following page can be modified for any of the three connection modes.
You should be able to get the
Primary DNS and Secondary DNS Servers
settings from your router
configuration settings, ISP, or your network administrator. Only the primary DNS server address is
required, though it is best to have both the primary and secondary addresses.

Advanced
The Advanced options apply to all WAN modes.
The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) 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.
This option is enabled by default allowing the router to select the typical
MTU settings for the selected WAN interface. If this option is unchecked, the
router will use the value assigned in the MTU field.
The WAN Port Speed is set to auto by default. If you have trouble connecting
the WAN port, you can select the connection type (10 or 100Mbps).
This option is disabled by default. By disabling the WAN ping, the router will
not respond to requests from a ping command received via the Internet.
Pinging public WAN IP addresses is a common method used by hackers to
test whether your WAN IP address is valid.
Some ISP’s may check your computer’s MAC address. Each networking
device has it’s own unique MAC address defined by the hardware
manufacturer. Some ISP’s record the MAC address of the network adapter
in the computer used to initially connect to their service. The ISP will then
only grant Internet access to requests from a computer with this particular
MAC address. The D-Link router has a different MAC address than the
computer that initially connected to the ISP. To resolve this problem, enable
this option.
When MAC Cloning is enabled, you can enter in a MAC address manually
in this field or click the Clone Your Computer’s MAC Address button.
When this button is clicked, the WAN port will use the MAC Address of the
network adapter in the computer that you are using to access the router.
