Optional Settings
Host Name and Doman Name These fields allow you
to supply a host and domain name for the Gateway.
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 Manual if you want to manually enter the largest
packet size that is transmitted. To have the Gateway select
the best MTU for your Internet connection, keep the
default, Auto.
Sze When Manual is selected in the MTU field, this option
is enabled. Leave this value in the 1200 to 1500 range. The
default, MTU is configured automatically.

network connected to the Gateway’s Ethernet ports.

The settings allow you to configure the Gateway’s Dynamic

computer on your network. If you choose to enable the
Gateway’s DHCP server option, make sure there is no
other DHCP server on your network.

Gateway is in DHCP Relay mode.

192.168.1.253. The default is 92.68..00.
