DHCP Connection
Clicking the DHCP Release button unassigns the router's IP address. The router will not respond to IP
messages from the WAN side until you click the DHCP Renew button or power-up the router again.
Clicking the DHCP Renew button causes the router to request a new IP address from the ISP's server.
PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP Connection
Depending on whether the WAN connection is currently established, you can click either the Connect to
attempt to establish the WAN connection or the Disconnect to break the WAN connection.
BigPond Connection
Depending on whether you are currently logged in to BigPond, you can click either the BigPond Login to
attempt to establish the WAN connection or the BigPond Logout to break the WAN connection.
Static IP
Static IP mode is always on, so no action buttons are avaliable.
Wireless LAN
This area of the screen reflects configuration settings from the Setup → Wireless Settings page and the
Advanced → WISH page. The MAC Address is the factory-assigned identifier of the wireless card.
LAN Computers
This area of the screen continually updates to show all DHCP enabled computers and devices connected to
the LAN side of your router. The detection "range" is limited to the address range as configured in DHCP
Server. Computers that have an address outside of this range will not show. If the DHCP Client (i.e. a
computer configured to "Automatically obtain an address") supplies a Host Name then that will also be shown.
Any computer or device that has a static IP address that lies within the detection "range" may show, however
its host name will not.
IGMP Multicast memberships
If IGMP is enabled, this area of the screen shows all multicast groups of which any LAN devices are
members.
