101
The 3G WAN connection uses wireless 3G adapters connected to a USB port on
the MWR222. The USB port is located on the back of the MWR222.
10.2 What You Can Do
• Use the Internet Connection screen to enter your ISP information and set how the
computer acquires its IP, DNS and WAN MAC Address
• Use the Advanced screen to enable multicasting, configure Windows networking
and bridge.
• Use IGMP Snooping screen to enable IGMP snooping in the LAN ports.
10.3 What You Need To Know
The information in this section can help you configure the screens for your WAN
connection, as well as enable/disable some advanced features of your MWR222.
10.3.1 Configuring Your Internet Connection
Encapsulation Method
Encapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower
layer protocol. To set up a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the
same encapsulation method used by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). If your
ISP offers a dial-up Internet connection using PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) or PPTP
(Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), they should also provide a username and
password (and service name) for user authentication.
WAN IP Address
The WAN IP address is an IP address for the MWR222, which makes it accessible
from an outside network. It is used by the MWR222 to communicate with other
devices in other networks. It can be static (fixed) or dynamically assigned by the
ISP each time the MWR222 tries to access the Internet.
If your ISP assigns you a static WAN IP address, they should also assign you the
subnet mask and DNS server IP address(es) (and a gateway IP address if you use
the Ethernet or ENET ENCAP encapsulation method).
