There are four possible connection methods:
1. DHCP
2. Static IP
3. PPPoE
4. Mobile Internet Connection (for USB WAN)
11.1.1 DHCP Connection
The DHCP connection method is suitable if the ISP provides an IP address automatically by DHCP (e.g.
Cable, Metro Ethernet, etc.).
DNS Servers
Each ISP may provide a set of DNS servers for DNS lookups. This setting specifies the
DNS (Domain Name System) Servers to be used when a DNS lookup is routed through this
connection.
Selecting Obtain DNS server address automatically results in the DNS Servers to be
assigned by the WAN DHCP Server to be used for outbound DNS lookups over the
connection. (The DNS Servers are obtained along with the WAN IP address assigned from
the DHCP server.)
When Use the following DNS server address(es) is selected, you may enter custom DNS
server addresses for this WAN connection into the DNS server 1 and DNS server 2 fields.
Hostname
(Optional)
If your service provider's DHCP server requires you to supply a hostname value upon
acquiring an IP address, you may enter the value here. If your service provider does not
provide you with the value, you can safely bypass this option.
Please refer to Section11.3, 11.4, 11.5, and 11.6 for details aboutWAN Health Check,Bandwidth
Allowance Monitor, Additional Public IP Settings, and Dynamic DNS Settings respectively.
