Dynamic IP Parameters Description
Host Name
Enter the Host Name provided if necessary (optional).
MAC Address/Clone MAC
Address
This field will instruct the user to enter the Media Access Control (MAC)
address of the Ethernet Card of your computer, if instructed to do so by
your ISP. To quickly accomplish this, click the Clone MAC Address button,
which will automatically copy the MAC address of your Ethernet card and
enter it into the space provided, which will replace the MAC address of the
router.
DNS (Primary/ Secondary)
These are the IP addresses of your primary and backup domain name
server, which should also be provided to you by your ISP. The router will
first try the Primary DNS Address to resolve a website’s URL IP address.
If this IP address fails, the router will then try the Secondary DNS
Address.
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 (1492 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 throughput.
