When a static speed is set, you may choose whether to advertise its speed to the peer

device or not. Advertise Speed is selected by default. You can choose not to advertise the

port speed if the port has difficulty in negotiating with the peer device.

Default: Auto

MTU

This field is for specifying the Maximum Transmission Unit value of the WAN connection. An

excessive MTU value can cause file downloads stall shortly after connected. You may

consult your ISP for the connection's MTU value.

MSS

This field is for specifying the Maximum Segment Size of the WAN connection.

When Auto is selected, MSS will be depended on the MTU value. When Custom is selected,

you may enter a value for MSS. This value will be announced to remote TCP servers for

maximum data that it can receive during the establishment of TCP connections.

Some Internet servers are unable to listen to MTU setting if ICMP is filtered by firewall

between the connections.

Normally, MSS equals to MTU minus 40. You are recommended to reduce the MSS only if

changing of the MTU value cannot effectively inform some remote servers to size down data

size.

Default: Auto

MAC Address

Clone

Some service providers (e.g. cable network) identify the client's MAC address and require

client to always use the same MAC address to connect to the network. If it is the case, you

may change the WAN interface's MAC address to the client PC's one by entering the PC's

MAC address to this field. If you are not sure, click the Default button to restore to the default

value.

VLAN

Check the box to assign a VLAN to the interface.

DHCP Settings

Hostname

(Optional)

If your service provider's DHCP server requires you to supply a hostname value upon

acquiring an IP address, you may enter the value here. If your service provider does not

provide you with a hostname, you can safely bypass this option.

DNS Servers

Each ISP may provide a set of DNS servers for DNS lookups. This setting specifies the

DNS (Domain Name System) servers to be used when a DNS lookup is routed through
