Note:
If you change the IP Address of LAN, you must use the new IP Address to login the router.
If the new LAN IP Address you set is not in the same subnet, the IP Address pool of the DHCP
server will not take effect, until they are re-configured.
If the new LAN IP Address you set is not in the same subnet, the Virtual Server and DMZ Host will
change accordingly at the same time.
3.4.2
WAN
You can configure the WAN port parameters on this page.
First, please choose the WAN Connection Type (Dynamic IP/Static IP/PPPoE/802.1X + Dynamic
IP/802.1X + Static IP/Big Pond Cable/L2TP/PPTP) for Internet. The default type is
Dynamic IP
. If
you aren’t given any login parameters (fixed IP Address, logging ID, etc), please select

are not sure which connection type you use currently, please contact your ISP to obtain the
correct information.

MTU Size -
The normal MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value for most Ethernet networks
is 1500 Bytes. For some ISPs you need to reduce 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 addresses, select
Use These DNS Servers
and enter
the primary and secondary addresses into the correct fields. Otherwise, the DNS servers will
be assigned dynamically from your ISP.
)
Note:
If you get address and find error when you go to a Web site, it is likely that your DNS servers are
set up improperly. You should contact your ISP to get DNS server addresses.
¾
Get IP with Unicast DHCP -
A few ISPs' DHCP servers do not support the broadcast
applications. If you cannot get the IP Address normally, you can choose this option. (This is
rarely required.)
