• Username/Password—Enter the User Name and Password provided by your ISP. These fields are case-sensitive.
• Addressing Type—Choose the addressing type given by your ISP, either Dynamic IP or Static IP. Click the Connect button to
connect immediately. Click the Disconnect button to disconnect immediately.
• MTU (Bytes)—The default MTU size is “1460” bytes, which is usually fine. Do not change the default MTU Size unless required
by your ISP.
• Enable IGMP Proxy—IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is used to manage multicasting on TCP/IP networks. Some
ISPs use IGMP to perform remote configuration for client devices, such as the modem router. The default value is enabled, and
if you are not sure, contact your ISP or just leave it.
• Connection Mode—Choose the Internet connection mode.
- Always on—In this mode, the Internet connection will be active all the time.
- Connect on Demand—You can configure the router to disconnect from your Internet connection after a specified period of
inactivity (Max Idle Time). If your Internet connection has been terminated due to inactivity, Connect on Demand enables the
router to automatically re-establish your connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. If you wish to activate
Connect on Demand, check the radio button. If you want your Internet connection to remain active at all times, enter 0 in the
Max Idle Time field. Otherwise, enter the number of minutes you want to elapse before your Internet connection terminates.
- Connect Manually—You can configure the router to connect or disconnect manually. After a specified period of inactivity (Max
Idle Time), the router will disconnect from your Internet connection, and you will not be able to re-establish your connection
automatically as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. To use this option, check the radio button. If you want your
Internet connection to remain active at all times, enter "0" in the Max Idle Time field. Otherwise, enter the number of minutes
that you wish to stop the Internet from connecting unless a new link is requested.
