Primary DNS
Server:
The IP address of the Domain Name Server. Your ISP will
provide this information if it is required; otherwise, leave this
box set to 0.0.0.0.
Maximum Idle
Time:
The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the “Connect on
demand” connection mode. It specifies how many minutes the
WAN connection can be idle before the connection is dropped.
A value of zero means the connection will not be dropped due
to idle time.
MTU:
If this box is left blank, the router selects the usual MTU settings
for the type of WAN interface in use. The Maximum Transmission
Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the largest packet size
(in bytes) that the router will send to the WAN. If LAN devices send
larger packets, the router will break them into smaller packets.
Ideally, you should set this to match the MTU of the connection to
your ISP.
Connect Mode
Select:
Typically, connections such as PPPoE, PPTP, and L2TP are not
always on. The router allows you to set the connection mode.
