connection. If you are disconnected, then the Router will automatically re-establish your connection. To use
this option, click the option next to
Keep Alive
. In the
Redial Period

Optional Settings (Required by some ISPs)
This section is common for all the Internet Connection Types. Some of these settings may be required by your ISP.
Verify with your ISP before making any changes.
Host Name
: Some ISPs, usually cable ISPs, require a host name as identification. You may need to check with
your ISP to see if your broadband Internet service is configured with a host name. In most cases you can leave
this field blank.
Domain Name
: Some ISPs, usually cable ISPs, require a domain name as identification. You may need to check
with your ISP to see if your broadband Internet service is configured with a domain name. In most cases you can
leave this field blank.
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 setting,
Auto
.
Size
: When Manual is selected in the MTU field, this option is enabled. The recommended setting for this field is
1500 (standard MTU size on Ethernet media).

DDNS
The Router offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and domain
name to a dynamic Internet IP address. It is useful when you are hosting your own website, FTP server, or other
server behind the Router.
Before you can use this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service at DynDNS.org or TZO.com.
DDNS Service. If your DDNS service is provided by DynDNS.org, then select
DynDNS.org
from the drop-down
menu. If your DDNS service is provided by TZO.com, then select
TZO.com
from the drop-down menu.To disable
DDNS Service, select
Disabled
.
DynDNS.org
•
User Name, Password, and Host Name. Enter the User Name, Password, and Host Name of the account you
set up with DynDNS.org.
•
Status. The status of the DDNS service connection is displayed here.
TZO.com
•
E-mail Address, TZO Password, and Domain Name. Enter the E-mail Address, Password, and Domain Name of
the account you set up with TZO.
•
Status. The status of the TZO service connection is displayed here.
After entering the necessary information, the Router will advise the DDNS Service of your current WAN (Internet)
IP address whenever this address changes. If using TZO, you should NOT use the TZO software to perform this “IP
address update”.
Connect button
: When DDNS is enabled, the Connect button is displayed. Use this button to manually update
your IP address information on the DDNS server. The Status area on this screen also updates.
Click the
Save Settings
button to save the network settings or click the
Cancel Changes
button to undo your
changes.

LAN
The LAN Setup section allows you to change the Router’s local network settings for the four Ethernet ports.
IPv4
The Router’s Local IPv4 Address and Subnet Mask are shown here. In most cases, you can keep the defaults.
Local IP Address
. Enter the IPv4 address on the LAN side. The default value is
192.168.1.1
.
Subnet Mask
. Select the subnet mask from the drop-down menu. 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 enabled by 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 the Router to act as a Relay for that DHCP Server, select
DHCP Relay
, then enter
the DHCP Server IP Address.
Starting IP Address
. Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. This value will
automatically follow your local IP address settings. Normally, you assign the first IP address for the Router (e.g.
192.168.1.1) so that you can assign an IP address to other devices starting from the 2nd IP address (e.g.
192.168.1.2). The last address in the subnet is for subnet broadcast (e.g. 192.168.1.255) so that the address
cannot be assigned to any host.
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 the available host addresses in the subnet (e.g. 253 for /24
subnet). 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. The default value is 0, which actually means one day.
Static DNS 1-3
. If applicable, enter the IP address(es) of your DNS server(s).
