enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed
before your Internet connection terminates. The default
Max Idle Time is 5 minutes.
Keep Alive: Redial Period If you select this option,
the Router will periodically check your Internet
connection. If you are disconnected, then the Router
will automatically re-establish your connection. To use
this option, select Keep Alive. In the Redial Period field,
you specify how often you want the Router to check
the Internet connection. The default Redial Period is
30 seconds.
Optional Settings
Some of these settings may be required by your ISP. Verify
with your ISP before making any changes.
Optional Settings
Host Name and Domain Name These fields allow you to
supply a host and domain name for the Router. Some ISPs,
usually cable ISPs, require these names as identification.
You may have to check with your ISP to see if your
broadband Internet service has been configured with a
host and domain name. In most cases, leaving these fields
blank will work.
MTU MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies
the largest packet size permitted for Internet transmission.
Select Enable if you want to manually enter the largest
packet size that is transmitted. To have the Router select
the best MTU for your Internet connection, keep the
default setting, Disable.
Size When Manual is selected in the MTU field, this option
is enabled. Leave this value in the 1200 to 1500 range. The
default size depends on the Internet Connection Type:
DHCP, Static IP, or Telstra: 1500
PPPoE: 1492
PPTP or L2TP: 1460

The Network Setup section changes the settings on the
network connected to the Router’s Ethernet ports. Wireless
setup is performed through the Wireless tab.

Router IP
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
The settings allow you to configure the Router’s Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server function. The
Router can be used as a DHCP server for your network. A
DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to each
computer on your network. If you choose to enable the
Router’s DHCP server option, make sure there is no other
DHCP server on your network.
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
Local DHCP Server DHCP is enabled by factory default.
If you already have a DHCP server on your network, or you
don’t want a DHCP server, then select Disable (no other
DHCP features will be available).
Start IP Address Enter a value for the DHCP server to
start with when is
suing IP addresses. Because the Router’s
default IP address is 192.168.1.1, the Start IP Address must
be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.253.
The default is 192.168.1.100
.
Number of Address Enter the maximum number of
computers that you want the DHCP server to assign IP
addresses to. This number cannot be greater than 253.
The default is 50.
DHCP Address Range Displayed here is the range of
available IP addresses.
Client Lease Time The Client Lease Time is the amount
of time a network user will be allowed connection to the
Router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the
amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be “leased”
this dynamic IP address. After the time is up, the user will
be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address. The
default is 0 minutes, which means one day.
Static DNS 1-3
The Domain Name System (DNS) is how
the Internet translates domain or website names into
Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide you with at
least one DNS Server IP address. If you wish to use another,
enter that IP address in one of these fields. You can enter up
to three DNS Server IP addresses here. The Router will use
these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers
