To congure the WAN connection settings:
1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN >
Internet Connection.
2. Congure the following settings below. When done, click
Apply.
• WAN Connection Type: Choose your Internet Service
Provider type. The choices are Automatic IP, PPPoE, PPTP,
L2TP or xed IP. Consult your ISP if the router is unable
to obtain a valid IP address or if you are unsure the WAN
connection type.
• Enable WAN: Select Ye s to allow the router Internet access.
Select No to disable Internet access.
• Enable NAT: NAT (Network Address Translation) is a system
where one public IP (WAN IP) is used to provide Internet
access to network clients with a private IP address in a LAN.
The private IP address of each network client is saved in a
NAT table and is used to route incoming data packets.
• Enable UPnP: UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows several
devices (such as routers, televisions, stereo systems, game
consoles, and cellular phone), to be controlled via an IP-
based network with or without a central control through a
gateway. UPnP connects PCs of all form factors, providing
a seamless network for remote conguration and data
transfer. Using UPnP, a new network device is discovered
automatically. Once connected to the network, devices
can be remotely congured to support P2P applications,
interactive gaming, video conferencing, and web or proxy
servers. Unlike Port forwarding, which involves manually
conguring port settings, UPnP automatically congures the
router to accept incoming connections and direct requests to
a specic PC on the local network.
• Enable WAN Aggregation: WAN Aggregation combines two
network connections to increase your WAN speed up to
2 Gbps. Connect your router’s WAN port and LAN 4 port to
your modem’s LAN ports.
