• Enable WAN: Select Yes to allow the router Internet access.
Select No to disable Internet access.
• Enable NAT: NAT (Network Address Translation) is a system
where one public IP (WAN IP) is used to provide Internet
access to network clients with a private IP address in a LAN.
The private IP address of each network client is saved in a
NAT table and is used to route incoming data packets.
• Enable UPnP: UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows several
devices (such as routers, televisions, stereo systems, game
consoles, and cellular phone), to be controlled via an IP-
based network with or without a central control through a
gateway. UPnP connects PCs of all form factors, providing
a seamless network for remote configuration and data
transfer. Using UPnP, a new network device is discovered
automatically. Once connected to the network, devices
can be remotely configured to support P2P applications,
interactive gaming, video conferencing, and web or proxy
servers. Unlike Port forwarding, which involves manually
configuring port settings, UPnP automatically configures the
router to accept incoming connections and direct requests to
a specific PC on the local network.
• Connect to DNS Server automatically: Allows this router

is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names to
numeric IP addresses.

Check with your ISP and fill them in if required.
• Host Name: This field allows you to provide a host name for
your router. It is usually a special requirement from your ISP.
If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter the
host name here.
• MAC Address: MAC (Media Access Control) address is a
unique identifier for your networking device. Some ISPs
monitor the MAC address of networking devices that connect
to their service and reject any unrecognized device that
attempt to connect. To avoid connection issues due to an
unregistered MAC address, you can:
