ESR-9710 Wireless N Gigabit Router Version 1.0

 Host Name: Specify a host name to define your system or connetion.

 Use Unicasting: This option is normally turned off, and should remain off as long as

the WAN-side DHCP server correctly provides an IP address to the router. However,

if the router cannot obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, the DHCP server

may be one that works better with unicast responses. In this case, turn the unicasting

option on, and observe whether the router can obtain an IP address. In this mode,

the router accepts unicast responses from the DHCP server instead of broadcast

responses.

 Primary / Secondary DNS Address: Specify the primary and secondary IP address,

which is assigned by your ISP.

 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.

 MAC Address: If you need to change the MAC address of the rounter's WAN-side

Ethernet interface, either type in an alternate MAC address (for example, the MAC

address of the router initially connected to the ISP) or click on Clone Your PCs MAC

Address.

 Click on the Save Settings button to store these settings.

6.2.4.3 PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)

 The WAN interface can be configured as PPPoE. This type of connection is usually

used for a DSL service and requires a username and password to connect.

 Select the PPPoE from the My Internet Connection drop-down list.
