WAN MTU Setup The  MTU  (maximum  transmission  unit)  is  the  largest  data  packet  a  network device  transmits.  The  normal  MTU  value  for  most  Ethernet  networks  is  1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections. For some ISPs, you might need to change the MTU. This is rarely required, and should not be done unless you are sure  it  is  necessary  for  your  ISP  connection.  When  one  network  device communicates across the Internet with another, the data packets travel through many  devices  along  the  way.  If  a  device  in  the  data  path  has  a  smaller  MTU value  than  the  other  devices,  the  data  packets  have  to  be  "fragmented"  to accommodate the device with the smallest MTU value.  The best MTU value is often just the factory default value. In some situations, changing the MTU value fixes one problem but causes another. Leave the MTU unchanged unless one of these situations occurs: A. You  have  problems  connecting  to  your  ISP  or  other  Internet  service,  and either  your  ISP  or  our  technical  support  suggests  changing  the  MTU  value. Below Web-based applications might require an MTU change:  A  secure  Website  that  does  not  open,  or  displays  only  part  of  a  Web
                                                                            32 III Features & Configurations | Tenda  page  Yahoo email  MSN portal B. You use VPN and encounter serious performance problems.  C. You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons, and now you have connectivity or performance problems. If you suspect an MTU problem, try changing the MTU to 1400. If this does not help,  gradually  reduce  the  MTU  from  the  maximum  value  of  1500  until  the problem disappears. The common MTU sizes and applications are listed in the table below. MTU Application 1500 Typical for connections that do not use PPPoE or VPN.  1492 Used in PPPoE environments. 1472 Maximum  size  to  use  for  pinging.  (Larger  packets  are fragmented.) 1468 Used in some DHCP environments. 1436 Used in PPTP environments or with VPN.  Note A wrong/improper MTU value may cause Internet communication problems. For example,  you  may  be  unable  to  access  certain  Websites,  frames  within Websites, secure login pages, FTP or POP servers.  2.3 WAN Speed (Available only in Wireless Router Mode) Click Basic  ->  WAN  Speed  to  enter  the  configuration  interface.  Here  you can configure the WAN speed and duplex mode.
                                                                            33 III Features & Configurations | Tenda    Tip ① The device operates in Auto (Auto-negotiation) mode by default. Usually, it works for most cases. ② In some situations,  you might need to change  the speed/duplex mode. For example,  if  the  cable  connected  to  your  device's  WAN  port  is  longer  than 100m,  you  may  need  to  use  10M  full-duplex  or  10M  half-duplex  for  better performance.  Ensure  that  your  device's  WAN  port  operates  with  the  same speed and duplex mode as the remote link partner. Otherwise, your device's WAN port may not receive and send data.  2.4 DNS Settings Click Basic -> DNS Settings to enter the configuration interface.
                                                                            34 III Features & Configurations | Tenda   Configuration Procedures: ① DNS Settings: Check/uncheck to enable/disable the DNS settings. ② Primary  DNS  Address:  Enter  the  IP  address  of  the  primary  DNS  server provided by your ISP. ③ Secondary DNS Address: If a secondary DNS server address is available, enter it here. This field is optional. ④ Click Save to save your settings.  Note The  default  DNS  settings  are  recommended.  Only  change  the  DNS  default settings  if  you  know  that  your  ISP  requires  specific  servers.  If  incorrect  DNS settings are configured, Webpages may not open.  2.5 MAC Clone (Available only in Wireless Router Mode) Some  ISPs  (Internet  Service  Providers)  require  end-user's  MAC  address  to access their network. This feature copies your current PC's MAC address to the device.   Click Basic -> MAC Clone to enter the configuration screen.
                                                                            35 III Features & Configurations | Tenda    Knowledge Center Restore Default MAC: Reset the device’s WAN MAC address to factory default. Clone MAC: Clicking this button copies the MAC address of the computer that you  are  currently  using  to  the  router.  Note  that you  have  to  use  the  computer whose  MAC address is allowed  by your  ISP.  Also, you  can  manually  enter  the MAC address that you want to use.   To restore default MAC address: ① Click Restore Default MAC. ② Click Save to save your settings. To copy the MAC address of the computer that you are  currently using to the device: ① Click Clone MAC. ② Click Save to save your settings. To manually enter the MAC address allowed by your ISP: ① Enter the MAC address allowed by your ISP. ② Click Save to save your settings.
                                                                            36 III Features & Configurations | Tenda   2.6 DHCP Server DHCP  (Dynamic  Host  Configuration  Protocol)  assigns  an  IP  addr ess  to  each device  on  the  LAN/private  network.  When  you  enable  the  DHCP  Server,  the DHCP  Server  will  automatically  allocate  an  unused  IP  address  from  the  IP address  pool  specified  in  this  screen  to  the  requesting  device  as  long  as  the device is set to "Obtain an IP Address Automatically". If you disable this feature, you have to manually configure the TCP/IP settings for all PCs on your LAN to access the Internet. Click Basic -> DHCP Server to enter  the  screen below. Here you can change the DHCP IP address pool and lease time.  Configuration Procedures: ① DHCP  Server  -  Enable:  Check/uncheck  the  box  to  enable  or  disable  the DHCP server feature. ② Start IP/End IP: You can specify the starting and ending addresses of the IP address pool here. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the device’s LAN IP address.
                                                                            37 III Features & Configurations | Tenda  ③ Lease Time: The lease time is a time length that the IP address is assigned to each device before it is refreshed. ④ Click Save to save your settings.  Tip ① By default, the device functions as a DHCP server. Do not disable the DHCP server feature unless you want to manually configure the TCP/IP settings for all the PCs on your LAN. ② Lease time will be renewed automatically upon expiry. ③ If  you  are  not  an  advanced  user,  the  default  DHCP  server  settings  are recommended.  2.7 DHCP Client List Click Basic -> DHCP Client List. Here you can see a list of the DHCP dynamic clients  (if  any).  By  viewing  this  list,  you  can  know  whether  there  are unauthorized accesses.  Also, you can specify a reserved IP address for a PC on your LAN. That PC will always  receive  the  same  IP  address  each  time  when  it  accesses  the  DHCP
                                                                            38 III Features & Configurations | Tenda  server.  Reserved  IP  addresses  could  be  assigned  to  servers  that  require permanent IP settings. Static Assignment Application Example: To  have  a  PC  at  the  MAC  address  of  44:37:E6:4F:37:38  always  receive  the same IP address of 192.168.0.123.  Configuration Procedures: ① Enter  the  last  number  of  the  IP  address  you  want  to  reserve . Here  in  this example, enter 123. ② Enter the MAC address of 44:37:E6:4F:37:38. ③ Click Add. ④ Click Save to save your settings.  Tip ① If the IP address you have reserved for your PC is currently used by another client, then you will not be able to obtain a new IP address from the device's DHCP server, instead, you must manually specify a different IP address for your PC to access the Internet. ② For PCs that have already obtained IP addresses, you may need to perform
                                                                            39 III Features & Configurations | Tenda  the Repair action to activate the configured static IP addresses.
