Speed
In most cases, the VPN firewall can automatically determine the connection speed of the WAN port of the
device (modem, dish, or router) that provides the WAN connection. If you cannot establish an Internet
connection, you might need to manually select the port speed. If you know the Ethernet port speed of the
modem, dish, or router, select it from the drop-down list. Use the half-duplex settings only if the full-duplex
settings do not function correctly.
Select one of the following speeds from the drop-down list:
AutoSense. Speed autosensing. This is the default setting, which can sense all Ethernet speeds and
duplex modes, including 1000BASE-T speed at full duplex.

BaseT Half_Duplex. Ethernet speed at half duplex.

BaseT Full_Duplex. Ethernet speed at full duplex.
100BaseT Half_Duplex. Fast Ethernet speed at half duplex.
