Dynamic IP Address

To configure a Dynamic IP Address Internet connection, follow these

steps:

1. Select the Dynamic IP (DHCP) option from the My Internet

Connection is: pull-down menu.

2. Under the Dynamic IP heading, type a Host Name if needed, and

DNS IP address information. The Primary DNS Address will be

normally be required, the Secondary DNS Address is used for a

back up DNS server.

3. Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer’s

Ethernet adapter when you first access their network. This can

prevent the Router (which has a different MAC address) from being

allowed access to the ISPs network (and the Internet). To clone the

MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter, type in the

MAC address in the MAC Address field and click the Clone MAC

Address button.

4. Leave the MTU value at the default setting (default = 1500) unless

you have specific reasons to change this (see table below for more

information).

5. Click on the Save Settings button to save and apply the new

Internet connection settings.

A Dynamic IP Address connection configures the Router to

automatically obtain its global IP address from a DHCP server on the

ISP’s network.
