6.4.1.1
WAN
‐
DHCP
The
WAN
interface
can
be
configured
as
a
DHCP
Client
in
which
the
ISP
provides
the
IP
address
to
the
device.
This
is
also
known
as
Dynamic
IP.
Internet
Connection
Type
:
Select
the
DHCP
from
the
drop
‐
down
list.
Account
Name
:
Specify
an
account
name
if
your
ISP
has
provided
you
with
one.
Domain
Name
:
Specify
a
domain
name
if
the
ISP
has
provided
you
with
one.
MTU
:
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.
Typical
values
are
1500
bytes
for
an
Ethernet
connection
and
1492
bytes
for
a
PPPoE
connection.
If
the
router's
MTU
is
set
too
high,
packets
will
be
fragmented
downstream.
If
the
router's
MTU
is
set
too
low,
the
router
will
fragment
packets
unnecessarily
and
in
extreme
cases
may
be
unable
to
establish
some
connections.
In
either
case,
network
performance
can
suffer.
