This is how long the router keeps the Internet connection active when no one on the
network is using the Internet connection. A value of 0 (zero) means never log out.
The default is 5 minutes.
12. Select an Internet IP Address radio button:
• Get Dynamically. Your ISP uses DHCP to automatically assign your IP address.
• Use Static IP Address. Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and the gateway IP
address that your ISP assigned. The gateway is the ISP router to which your router
connects.
13. Select a Domain Name Server (DNS) Address radio button:
•
Get Automatically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers.
Your ISP automatically assigns these addresses.
•
Use These DNS Servers. If you know that your ISP requires specific servers, select
this option. Enter the IP address of your ISP’s primary DNS server. If a secondary
DNS server address is available, enter it also.
14. Select a Router MAC Address radio button:
•
Use Default Address. Use the default router MAC address that displays on the
Dashboard page and the router label.
•
Use Computer MAC Address. If your router connects to a modem, the router
captures and uses the MAC address of the computer that you are now using. You
must use the one computer that the ISP allows.
15. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
16. Click the Test button to test your Internet connection.
