WAN
Choose menu
Network
>
WAN
, and then you can configure the IP parameters of the WAN on the
screen below.
There are six WAN connection types: Dynamic IP, Static IP, PPPoE/Russia PPPoE,
BigPond Cable, L2TP/Russia L2TP, and PPTP/Russia PPTP; while there is one more type in AP
Router mode, BigPond Cable.
1.
If your ISP is running a DHCP server, select the
Dynamic IP
option. Then the Device will
automatically get IP parameters from your ISP. You can see the page as follow (Figure 5-6).

Figure 5-6 WAN – Dynamic IP
This page displays the WAN IP parameters assigned dynamically by your ISP, including IP
address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, etc.
IP Address -
The IP address assigned by your ISP dynamically.
Subnet Mask -
The subnet mask assigned by your ISP dynamically.
Default Gateway -
The default gateway assigned dynamically by your ISP.
MTU Size (in bytes)
-
The normal MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value for most
Ethernet networks is 1500 Bytes. For some ISPs you need to modify the MTU. But this is
rarely required, and should not be done unless you are sure it is necessary for your ISP
connection.
If your ISP gives you one or two DNS IP addresses, select
Use These DNS Servers
and enter
the
Primary DNS
and
Secondary DNS
into the correct fields. Otherwise, the DNS servers will be
assigned from ISP dynamically.
Primary DNS
-
Enter the DNS IP address in dotted-decimal notation provided by your ISP.
Secondary DNS
-
Enter another DNS IP address in dotted-decimal notation provided by your
ISP.
Click the
Renew
button to renew the IP parameters from your ISP.
Click the
Release
button to release the IP parameters.
Note:
If you get Address not found error when you access a Web site, it is likely that your DNS servers
are set up improperly. You should contact your ISP to get DNS server addresses.
Get IP with Unicast DHCP
-
A few ISPs' DHCP servers do not support the broadcast
applications. If you can't get the IP Address normally, you can choose Unicast. You generally
need not to check this option.

-
It's available only for PPPoE Connection. If your ISP provides an
extra Connection type such as Dynamic/Static IP to connect to a local area network, then you
can check the radio button of Dynamic/Static IP to activate this secondary connection.
Disabled -
The Secondary Connection is disabled by default, so there is PPPoE
connection only. This is recommended.
Dynamic IP -
Use dynamic IP address to connect to the local area network provided by
ISP.
Static IP -
Use static IP address to connect to the local area network provided by ISP.
WAN Connection Mode
