Overview
The Network module provides basic router functions, including WAN connection, DHCP
service, VLAN and more.
1.1 Supported Features
WAN
WAN ports connect to the internet. You can configure multiple WAN ports for your network.
Each WAN port has its own connection type and parameters, which you should configure
according to the requirements of your ISP.
LAN
When the LAN ports of the router connect to your local network devices, the router
functions as the gateway, which allows those devices to connect to the internet.
IPTV
Configure IPTV settings to enable Internet/IPTV/Phone service provided by your ISP
(internet service provider).
MAC
You can change the default MAC address of the WAN port or LAN port according to your
needs.
Switch
The router supports some basic switch port management functions, like Port Mirror, Rate
Control, Flow Control and Port Negotiation, to help you monitor the traffic and manage the
network effectively.
VLAN
VLAN enables you to divide the LAN into multiple logical networks and control the traffic
among them in a convenient and flexible way. The LAN can be logically segmented by
departments, application, or types of users, without regard to geographic locations.
IPv6
IPv6 is the next-generation network protocol following IPv4. You can configure IPv6
network for the router if your ISP supports IPv6. IPv6 network won’t cause conflict with
your current IPv4 network.
