Section 3 - Conguration
My Internet Connection is: Dynamic IP (DHCP)
The default WAN conguration for this router is Dynamic IP (DHCP). This option
allows the router to obtain an IP address automatically from the device that is con-
nected to the Internet port.
Note: If you’re not sure about the type of Internet connection you have, please con-
tact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for assistance.
After selecting Dynamic IP, the following parameters will be available for
conguration:
Enable Advanced
DNS Service:
Check the box to enable advanced DNS service
Host Name: The host name is optional, but may be required by some ISPs.
Leave blank if you are not sure.
Use Unicasting: Tick this option if your ISP uses the unicast method to provide
IP addresses.
Primary DNS: Enter the primary DNS IP address used here.
Secondary DNS: Enter the secondary DNS IP address used here. This eld is
normally optional. Only one DNS address is required for a
functional Internet connection, but using a second DNS
address provides more stability.
MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit - you may need to change the
MTU for optimal performance with your specic ISP. The de-
fault MTU is 1500.
