DHCP Connection
Clicking the DHCP Release button unassigns the router's IP address. The router will not
respond to IP messages from the WAN side until you click the
DHCP Renew
button or
power-up the router again. Clicking the DHCP Renew button causes the router to request a
new IP address from the ISP's server.
PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP Connection
Depending on whether the WAN connection is currently established, you can click either the
Connect
to attempt to establish the WAN connection or the
Disconnect
to break the
WAN connection.
BigPond Connection
Depending on whether you are currently logged in to BigPond, you can click either the
BigPond Login
to attempt to establish the WAN connection or the
BigPond Logout
to break the WAN connection.
Static IP
Static IP mode is always on, so no action buttons are avaliable.
Wireless LAN
This area of the screen reflects configuration settings from the Setup → Wireless Settings
page
and the Advanced → WISH
page. The MAC Address is the factory-assigned identifier of the
wireless card.
LAN Computers
This area of the screen continually updates to show all DHCP enabled computers and devices
connected to the LAN side of your router. The detection "range" is limited to the address range
as configured in DHCP Server. Computers that have an address outside of this range will not
show. If the DHCP Client (i.e. a computer configured to "Automatically obtain an address")
supplies a Host Name then that will also be shown. Any computer or device that has a static IP
address that lies within the detection "range" may show, however its host name will not.
IGMP Multicast memberships
If IGMP is enabled, this area of the screen shows all multicast groups of which any LAN devices
are members.
