The Internet Connection screen allows you to configure the
settings of various WAN connection types.
4.3.1.1 WAN
To configure the WAN connection settings:
1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN
> Internet Connection tab.
2. Configure the following settings below. When done, click
Apply.
WAN Connection Type: Choose your Internet Service
•
Provider type. The choices are Automatic IP, PPPoE, PPTP,
L2TP or static IP. Consult your ISP if the router is unable
to obtain a valid IP address or if you are unsure the WAN
connection type.
Enable WAN: Select Yes to allow the router Internet access.
•
Select No to disable Internet access.
Enable NAT: NAT (Network Address Translation) is a system
•
where one public IP (WAN IP) is used to provide Internet
access to network clients with a private IP address in a LAN.
The private IP address of each network client is saved in a
NAT table and is used to route incoming data packets.
Enable UPnP: UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows several
•
devices (such as routers, televisions, stereo systems, game
consoles, and cellular phone), to be controlled via an IP-
based network with or without a central control through a
gateway. UPnP connects PCs of all form factors, providing
a seamless network for remote configuration and data
transfer. Using UPnP, a new network device is discovered
automatically. Once connected to the network, devices
can be remotely configured to support P2P applications,
interactive gaming, video conferencing, and web or proxy
servers. Unlike Port forwarding, which involves manually
configuring port settings, UPnP automatically configures the
router to accept incoming connections and direct requests to
a specific PC on the local network.
