MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit indicates the network stack of any packet is larger than this value will
be fragmented before the transmission. During the PPP negotiation, the peer of the PPP connection will
indicate its MRU and will be accepted. The actual MTU of the PPP connection will be set to the smaller
one of MTU and the peer’s MRU. The default value is 1492.
MSS: Maximum Segment Size is the largest size of data that TCP will send in a single IP packet. When a
connection is established between LAN client and a host in the WAN side, the LAN client and the WAN
host will indicate their MSS during the TCP connection handshake. The default value is 1492.
Authentication: Default at “Auto”.
Automatic Reconnect: Check to enable this device to automatically re-establish the PPPoE session
when disconnected by ISP.
DHCP client enable: Check to enable the DHCP client function if you want the device to get an IP
address automatically from your ISP.

3.4.3.2 LAN
This screen contains settings for LAN interface attached to the LAN port.
IP Address: Default at 192.168.1.254.
This is the device IP address in LAN site. If you plan to change it to another IP address to a different
range of IP subnet. Please make sure your PC is also located at the same IP subnet. Otherwise, you may
not be able to access the router.
Subnet Mask: Default at 255.255.255.0.
DHCP Server: Check DHCP Server to enable the router to distribute IP Addresses, subnet mask and
DNS setting to computers. Hence, the following fields will be activated. If you do not check this selection,
remember to specify a static IP address, subnet Mask, and DNS setting for each of your local computers.
Be careful not to assign the same IP address to different computers.
Address pool selection: Auto or User Defined. If select the AUTO, router will assign an IP address back
to PC’s IP request. If User Defined, please specify the IP pool range.
