transmission. Select Manual if you want to manually enter the largest packet size that will be transmitted. To
have the Router select the best MTU for your Internet connection, keep the default setting, Auto
Size

DDNS Service
: DDNS Service is disabled by default. To enable DDNS Service, follow these instructions:
1.
Sign Up for DDNS Service

Host Name information.
•
TZO - Sign up for DDNS service at www.tzo.com, and write down your E-mail Address, Password and
Domain Name information.

LAN
The LAN Setup section allows you to change the Router’s local network settings.
IPv4
The Router’s Local IP Address and Subnet Mask are shown here. In most cases, you can keep the defaults.
Local IP Address
. The default value is
192.168.1.1
.
Subnet Mask
. The default value is
255.255.255.0
.
Server Settings (DHCP)
The Router can be used as your network’s DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which
automatically assigns an IP address to each PC on your network. Unless you already have one, it is highly
recommended that you leave the Router enabled as a DHCP server.
DHCP Server
. DHCP is already enabled by factory default.If you already have a DHCP server on your network, or
you don't want a DHCP server, then select Disabled (no other DHCP features will be available). If you already have
a DHCP server on your network, and you want this Router to act as a Relay for that DHCP Server, select DHCP
Relay, then enter the DHCP Server IP Address. If you disable DHCP, assign a static IP address to the Router.
Starting IP Address
. Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. This value must
be 192.168.1. 2 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.254, because the default IP address for the Router is
192.168.1.1, and 192.168.1.255 is the broadcast IP address.
Maximum Number of DHCP Users
. Enter the maximum number of PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign
IP addresses to. This number cannot be greater than 253. In order to determine the DHCP IP Address range, add
the starting IP address (e.g., 100) to the number of DHCP users.
Client Lease Time
. This is the amount of time a DHCP client can keep the assigned IP address before it sends a
renewal request to the DHCP server.
Static DNS 1-3
. If applicable, enter the IP address(es) of your DNS server(s).
WINS
. The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) provides name resolution service (similar to DNS) in
Windows networks. If you use a WINS server, enter that server's IP Address here. Otherwise, leave this blank.
