WAN Connection
Name
This field is for defining a name to represent this WAN connection.

This field is for choosing whether to enable this WAN connection.
Connection
Method
This option allows you to select the connection method for this WAN connection.
Available options are:
• DHCP
• Static IP
• PPPoE
• GRE
• Mobile Internet Connection (available only with Peplink Balance 380 or above)
See Sections 10.1.1, 10.1.2, 10.1.3, 10.1.4, 10.1.5 for configuration details of each
connection method.
Routing Mode
This field illustrates that NAT (Network Address Translation) will be applied to the
traffic routing over this WAN connection. Option of IP Forwarding can only be
chosen when the Connection Method is PPPoE.
For further details, please refer to Appendix B, Routing under DHCP, Static IP,
and PPPoE.
Connection Type
This setting specifies the utilization of the WAN connection.
The selection of Always-on results in the WAN connection to be used whenever it
is available. If Backup Priority and a priority group are selected, the WAN
connection is treated as a backup connection and is used only in the absence of
available Always-on WAN connection(s) and higher priority backup connection(s).
The default and recommended Connection Type is Always-on.
Reply to ICMP
Ping
If this field is disabled, the WAN connection will not respond to ICMP Ping
requests.
By default, this is enabled.
Upload Bandwidth
This setting specifies the data bandwidth in the outbound direction from the LAN
through the WAN interface. This value is provided by the ISP and should reflect
the actual speed the WAN gets.
This value is referenced when default weight is chosen for outbound traffic and
traffic prioritization. A correct value can result in effective traffic prioritization and
efficient use of upload bandwidth.
