 Internet Connection Type: Select the Static IP from the drop-down
list.
 Account Name: Specify an account name if your ISP has provided
you with one.
 Domain Name: Specify a domain name if the ISP has provided you
with one.
 MTU: The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that
determines the largest packet size (in bytes) that the router will send
to the WAN. If LAN devices send larger packets, the router will break
them into smaller packets. Ideally, you should set this to match the
MTU of the connection to your ISP. Typical values are 1500 bytes for
an Ethernet connection and 1492 bytes for a PPPoE connection. If
the router's MTU is set too high, packets will be fragmented
downstream. If the router's MTU is set too low, the router will
fragment packets unnecessarily and in extreme cases may be
unable to establish some connections. In either case, network
performance can suffer.
 IP Address: Specify the IP address for this device, which is assigned
by your ISP.
 Subnet Mask: Specify the subnet mask for this IP address, which is
assigned by your ISP.
 Default Gateway: Specify the IP address of the default gateway,
which is assigned by your ISP.
 Domain Name Service: Select Get Automatically from ISP if the ISP
will provide the DNS address, if not, select Use these DNS servers
and specify the primary and secondary DNS server IP address.
 Router MAC Address: If you need to change the MAC address of
the router’s WAN interface, either type in an alternate MAC address
(for example, the MAC address of the router initially connected to
the ISP) or click on the Clone MAC button.
 Click on the Apply button to save the changes.
6.4.1.3 WAN – PPPoE
 The WAN interface can be configured as PPPoE. This type of
connection is usually used for a DSL service and requires a
username and password to connect.
