associated with your ISP's network. Typically, this figure will be between 87% and 91% of the stated uplink speed for xDSL
connections and around 5 kbps lower for cable network connections.
 Manual Uplink Speed: Specify an uplink speed or select it from the drop-down list. If Automatic Uplink Speed is disabled, this options
allows you to set the uplink speed manually. Uplink speed is the speed at which data can be transferred from the router to your ISP.
 Connection Type: By default, the router automatically determines whether the underlying connection is an xDSL/Frame-relay network
or some other connection type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it displays the result as Detected xDSL or Frame Relay
Network. If you have an unusual network connection in which you are actually connected via xDSL but for which you configure either
Static or DHCP in the WAN settings, setting this option to xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router will recognize
that it needs to shape traffic slightly differently in order to give the best performance. Choosing xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network
causes the measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on such connections, but gives much better results.
