WAN
The WAN Setup screen provides Internet Connection Type and DDNS configurations on the WAN port of the
Wireless Router. Before starting, you need to find out the Internet Connection Type and settings used by your ISP.
If the Router is used as an Intranet Router, you can mostly use the default settings. If you want to use the dynamic
DNS feature, you will need to sign up for a DDNS service.
Internet Connection Type
The Router supports six connection types. Each
WAN Setup
screen and available options will differ depending on
what kind of connection type you select.
Automatic Configuration - DHCP
By default, the Router’s Configuration Type is set to
Automatic Configuration - DHCP
. The Router will get its
IP address from a DHCP server of the ISP. Most cable modem ISPs use this option.
Static IP
If your connection uses a permanent IP address to connect to the Internet, then select
Static IP
.
