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 for Tenda routers 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:
29
A. You have problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and the
technical support of either your ISP or Tenda 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
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
1500
Application
Typical for connections that do not use PPPoE or VPN.
1492
1472
Used in PPPoE environments.
Maximum size to use for pinging. (Larger packets are
fragmented.)
Used in some DHCP environments.
Used in PPTP environments or with VPN.
1468
1436
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, or FTP or POP servers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30
2.3 Port Mode
Click Network -> Port Mode to enter the WAN port mode screen. Here you can
configure the router's WAN speed and duplex mode.
Tip---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. The best port mode is often just the factory default of "Auto".
2. In some situations, you might need to change the port mode. For example,
if the cable connected to your router's WAN port is too long, you may need to
use 10M full-duplex or 10M half-duplex for better performance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
31
2.4 MAC Clone
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 router.
Click Network -> MAC Clone to enter the MAC Clone screen.
Knowledge Center -----------------------------------------------------------------1. Restore Default MAC: Reset the router ’s WAN MAC to factory default.
2. Clone MAC: Clicking this button copies the MAC address of the computer that
you are now using to the router. Also, you can manually enter the MAC address
that you want to use. You have to use the computer whose MAC address is allowed
by your ISP.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To restore default MAC address:
①

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.
2.5. DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) assigns an IP address 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 Network -> DHCP Server to enter the DHCP Server screen. Here you can
change the DHCP IP address pool and lease time.
Configuration Procedures:
①
DHCP Server: Select whether to enable or disable the DHCP server feature.
33
② Start IP/End IP: You can specify the starting and ending address of the IP
address pool here. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as
the router ’s LAN IP address.
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 router enables DHCP server. Do not disable the DHCP
server feature unless you want to manually configure the TCP/IP settings for
all PCs on your LAN.
2. Lease time will be renewed automatically upon expiry. No additional
configurations are needed.
3. If you are not an advanced user, the default DHCP server settings are
recommended.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2.6 DHCP Client List
Click Network -> DHCP Clients to enter the DHCP Clients screen. Here you can
view the host name, IP address, MAC address, and lease time information.
Tip --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------You can know whether there are unauthorized accesses by viewing the client list.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2.7 Static Assignment
Click Network -> Static Assignment. Here you can specify a reserved IP address
for a PC in the LAN. That PC will always receive the same IP address each time
34
when it accesses the DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses could be assigned to
servers that require permanent IP settings.
Static Assignment Application Example:
To make a PC at the MAC address of 44:37:E6:4F:37:3B always receive the same
IP address of 192.168.0.123.
Configuration Procedures:
①
Enter the IP address: 192.168.0.123.
②
Enter the MAC address of 44:37:E6:4F:37:3B.
③
Click Add.
35
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 has already obtained IP addresses, you may need to perform the
Repair action to activate the configured static IP addresses.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2.8 DHCP Server - Guest Network
Click Network -> DHCP - Guest Network to enter the guest network DHCP server
screen. If you enable the built-in DHCP server for Guest Network on this device, it
will automatically configure TCP/IP protocol settings for all DHCP-Client-enabled
PCs on the Guest Network, including IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS
etc.
Configuration Procedures:
①
Click Enable.
②
Start IP Address: Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP
addresses in the same subnet as the device.
36
End IP Address: Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in a
different subnet as the device.
③
Click Save to save your settings.
Click Network -> Client List - Guest Network to enter the guest network DHCP
client list screen. This section displays a guest network DHCP dynamic client list,
which includes host name, IP address, MAC address and lease time info.
Refresh: Click to update the page.

Knowledge Center ----------------------------------------------------------------1
AP Isolation: Isolates clients connecting to the primary SSID.
Beacon Interval: A time interval between any 2 consecutive Beacon packets
sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. Do NOT change the
default value of 100 unless necessary.
Fragment Threshold: Specify a Fragment Threshold value. Any wireless
packet exceeding the preset value will be divided into several fragments before
transmission. DO NOT change the default value of 2346 unless necessary.
RTS Threshold: If a packet exceeds such set value, RTS/CTS scheme will be
used to reduce collisions. Set it to a smaller value provided that there are distant
clients and interference. For normal SOHO, it is recommended to keep the default
value unchanged; otherwise, device performance may be degraded.
DTIM Interval: A DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Interval is a
countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and
multicast messages. When the packets arrive in the router ’s buffer, the router will
send DTIM (delivery traffic indication message) and DTIM interval to alert clients
of the receiving packets.
