IP Address
This is the permanent global IP address for your
account. This is the address that is visible outside
your private network. Get this from your ISP.
Subnet Mask
This is the Subnet mask for the WAN interface. Get
this from your ISP.
Gateway Address
This is the IP address of your ISP’s Gateway router.
It provides the connection to the Router for IP routed
traffic that is outside your ISP’s network. That is, this
will be the primary connection from the Router to
most of the Internet. Get this IP address from your
ISP.
ARP Server Address
(for IPoA connection only)
This is not required for all IPoA connections. Check
with your ISP for an ARP server IP address if this is
necessary for your IPoA connection.
Primary DNS Address
This is the IP address of the first choice for Domain
Name Service (DNS) used to match the named URL
web address used by most browsers with the actual
global IP address used for a web server. Usually this
will be a server owned by the ISP. Get this IP
address from your ISP.
Secondary DNS Address
This is the second choice for a DNS server. Get this
IP address from your ISP.
MTU
The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be
changed if you want to optimize efficiency for
uploading data through the WAN interface. The
default setting (1400 bytes) should be suitable for
most users. Some user may want to adjust the
setting to optimize performance for wireless traffic or
when low latency is desired (such as with Internet
gaming). It is highly recommended that the user
research how adjusting the MTU may affect network
traffic for better or worse.
MRU
Similar to the MTU, except this applies to Maximum
Received Unit size for downloading data. Most users
will be happy with the default setting (1492 bytes).
However this may also be optimized for fast
downloads of general bulk Internet traffic, for low
latency or for downloading to computers on the
Wireless LAN. As with the MTU setting, the user
should carefully consider how changing the MRU may
effect Internet downloads for all systems on your
LAN.
