View or Change WAN Settings
You can view or configure wide area network (WAN) settings for the Internet port. You can set
up a DMZ (demilitarized zone) server, change the maximum transmit unit (MTU) size, and
enable the router to respond to a ping to its WAN (Internet) port.
To view the WAN settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that is
connected to the network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.

• MTU Size (in bytes).
The normal MTU (maximum transmit unit) value for most
Ethernet networks is 1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections. Change the
