Configuring the WAN Setup Options
The WAN Setup screen lets you configure a DMZ (demilitarized zone) server, change the
Maximum Transmit Unit (MTU) size, and enable the modem router to respond to a ping on the
WAN (Internet) port. From the main menu, under Advanced, click WAN Setup to view the WAN
Setup screen.
The WAN Setup fields are described in the following table:

Setting Description
Connect Automatically, as
Required Usually, this check box is selected, so that an Internet connection is made
automatically, whenever Internet-bound traffic is detected. If this causes high
connection costs, you can clear the check box to disable this feature.
If this setting is disabled, you must connect manually, using the screen that
you access by clicking the Connection Status button on the Status screen.
If you have an Always on connection, this setting has no effect.
Enable PPPoE Relay Selecting this check box allows a PPPoE client on a local PC to connect to a
remote PPPoE server with the modem router acting as a relay agent.
Disable Port Scan and DOS
Protection The firewall protects your LAN against port scans and denial of service (DOS)
attacks. This protection should be disabled only in special circumstances.
Default DMZ Server This feature is sometimes helpful when you are using some online games and
videoconferencing. Be careful when using this feature because it makes the
firewall security less effective. See the following section,
