2. Enter the MTU Size. The MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) is the size of the largest packet that
can be sent over the network. The standard MTU value for Ethernet networks is usually 1500
Bytes and for PPPoE connections, it is 1492 Bytes. Unless a change is required by your ISP, it
is recommended that the MTU values be left as is.
3. Enter your Port Speed. Most new devices with Ethernet ports run at full-duplex, 100Mbps
modes. The router can automatically negotiate the speed with the other end of the Ethernet
connection. However, if the Internet LED blinks continuously, you may need to set the port
speed manually. This could occur with some older broadband modems. If the Ethernet port of
the broadband modem supports 100BaseT, select 100BaseT; otherwise, select 10BaseT. Use
the half-duplex settings if full-duplex modes do not function properly.
4. Enter the Router's MAC Address. The router has its own 48-bit local Ethernet address, also
referred to as the MAC (Media Access Control) address. The default is set to Use default
address. If your ISP requires MAC authentication and another MAC address has been
previously registered with your ISP, then select either Use this Computer's MAC address to
assign the MAC address of the computer through which you are accessing the router, or select
Use This MAC Address and manually type in the MAC address expected by your ISP. The
format for the MAC address is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX where X is a number from 0 to 9
(inclusive) or an alphabetical letter between A and F (inclusive).
