DHCP
Enable NAT
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a method to substitute the information of IP address space from private IP
to public IP when the devices which connected to the router access to the Internet. The router records the
source/destination address on table and maps the IP while receiving packages from Internet.
WAN Connection Type
The connection type to access the Internet.
Automatic MTU
Allows your router to get MTU size from the Internet Service Provider (ISP) automatically.
MTU
Maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest data packet for the router capable to transmit and receive. The
data packets exceed MTU will be fragmented while transmitting and be reassembled once the packets reach the
destination.
WAN DNS Settings
Automatic DNS server address
Allows your router to get Domain name Service (DNS) IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
automatically.
DNS1
Enter an IP address as the primary domain name server.
DNS2
Enter an IP address as the secondary domain name server.
Special Requirement
Host Name
Enter a host name for your router.
MAC Address
MAC(Media Access Control) address is a unique identifier that identifies your computer or device in the network.
ISPs monitor the MAC addresses of devices that connect to their services, and would disallow Internet connection
for new MAC addresses. To fix this issue, you can do either of the following:
* Contact your ISP and request to update the MAC address associated with your ISP subscription.
* Clone or change the MAC address of the new device to match the MAC address of the original device.
DHCP Query Frequency
Some Internet Service Providers might block MAC addresses if the device makes DHCP queries too often. To
prevent this, change the DHCP query frequency. In the default Aggressive mode, if router does not get a response
from the ISP, it sends another query after 20 seconds and makes three more attempts. In Normal mode, if router
doesn’t get a response from the ISP, it makes a second query after 120 seconds and makes two more attempts.
