Static WAN Mode

Used when your ISP provides you a set IP address that does not change. The IP information is
manually entered in your IP configuration settings.
IP Address: Input the IP Address provided from your router configuration settings, ISP
or network administrator.
Subnet Mask: Input the Subnet mask provided from your router configuration settings,
ISP or network administrator.
Default Gateway: Input the Gateway address provided from your router configuration settings,
ISP or network administrator.

DHCP WAN Mode

A method of connection where the ISP assigns your IP address when your computer requests one
from the ISP's server. Some ISP's require you to make some settings on your side before your
computer can connect to the Internet.
Host Name: Some ISP's may check your computer's HOST name. The HOST name
identifies your system to the ISP's server. This way they know your computer
is eligible to receive an IP address. In other words, they know that you are
paying for their service.
DHCP Connection: The Release button will release the current IP address of the router. The
Renew button will request an IP address.
