Optional Settings
Host Name and Doma±n Name
These fields allow you to
supply a host and domain name for the Router. Some ISPs,
usually cable ISPs, require these names as identification.
You may have to check with your ISP to see if your

host and domain name. In most cases, leaving these fields
blank will work.
MTU
MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies
the largest packet size permitted for Internet transmission.
Select Manual if you want to manually enter the largest
packet size that is transmitted. To have the Router select
the best MTU for your Internet connection, keep the
default,
Auto

•
from the Modem port or mobile network) to the client,
depending on how the Router is currently connected.

If the upstream DNS servers change
between connections, the clients may become
unable to resolve addresses because they
have valid DHCP leases that use the old server
values.
Mode 3 - Manual conf±gurat±on
Select this option if you
want to set arbitrary DNS/WINS values for the clients to
use. These values are not validated by the Router.
DHCP Server Settings
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
