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

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.

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
