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

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.

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)

2.6 DHCP Server

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 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

4 Advanced Applications

This section includes the following:

 To remotely access the device via a domain name or access a server on a

LAN PC, see 4.1 DDNS Settings.

 To let an Internet user access your LAN PC without any restriction, see

4.2 DMZ Host.

 To automatically map the ports between WAN and LAN, see 4.3 UPNP.
 To enable the remote Web management feature, see 4.4 Remote Web

Management.

 To regulate bandwidth, see 4.5 Bandwidth Control (Available only in

4G600).

 To restrict your LAN PCs to access certain services on the Internet via

their IP addresses, see 4.6 Client Filter (Available only in 4G600).

4.1 DDNS Settings

Dynamic DNS or DDNS is a term used for the updating in real time of Internet
Domain Name System (DNS) name servers. We use a numeric IP address
allocated by Internet Service Provider (ISP) to connect to the Internet; the
address may either be stable ("static"), or may change from one session on the
Internet to the next ("dynamic"). However, a numeric address is inconvenient to
remember; an address which changes unpredictably makes connection
impossible. The DDNS provider allocates a static host name to the user;
whenever the user is allocated a new IP address this is communicated to the
DDNS provider by software running on a computer or network device at that
address; the provider distributes the association between the host name and
the address to the Internet's DNS servers so that they may resolve DNS queries.
Thus, uninterrupted access to devices and services whose numeric IP address
may change is maintained.
Click Advanced -> DDNS Settings to enter the screen below.

48

III Features & Configurations | Tenda

Tip

To use the DDNS feature, you need to have an account with one of the DDNS
Service Providers in the drop-down list first.

DDNS Application Example:

If your ISP gives you a dynamic (changing) public IP address, you want to
access your router remotely (see 4.4 Remote Web Management) but you
cannot predict what your router's WAN IP address will be, and the address can
change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service.
It lets you register your domain to their IP address and forwards traffic directed
at your domain to your frequently changing IP address.
If your DDNS service provider provides you with a DDNS account (User Name:
tenda, Password: 123456, Domain Name: tenda.dyndns.org) and you want to
use the PC at the IP address of 218.88.93.33 to remotely access this device on
the port number of 8090. Then follow the steps below:

① DDNS Settings: Check the Enable DDNS box.
② DDNS Service Provider: Select your DDNS service provider from the

drop-down list. Here in this example, select dyndns.org.

③ User Name: Enter the DDNS user name you have registered with your

49

III Features & Configurations | Tenda

DDNS service provider. Here in this example, enter tenda.

④ Password: Enter the DDNS Password you have registered with your DDNS

service provider. Here in this example, enter 123456.

⑤ Domain Name: Enter the DDNS domain name you have registered with your

DDNS service provider. Here in this example, enter tenda.dyndns.org.

⑥ Click Save to save your settings.

⑦ Click Remote Web Management, enable the Remote Web Management

feature, enter 8090 in the Port field, 218.88.93.33 in the IP Address field and
then click Save to save your settings.

Now, you can access your device from the Internet by typing your device’s
domain name into y o u r b r owser ’s addr ess or location fiel d on yo ur PC

50

III Features & Configurations | Tenda

(218.88.93.33) followed by a colon (:) and the remote management port number.
Here in this example, enter http://tenda.dyndns.org:8090.

4.2 DMZ Host

The DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) function disables the firewall on the router for
one device for a special purpose service such as Internet gaming or video
conferencing applications that are not compatible with NAT (Network Address
Translation).
Click Advanced -> DMZ Host to enter the screen below.

Note

① DMZ host poses a security risk. A computer configured as the DMZ host

loses much of the protection of the firewall and becomes vulnerable to
attacks from external networks.

② Hackers may use the DMZ host computer to attack other computers on your

network.

Configuration Procedures:

① DMZ Host IP: The IP address of t he dev i c e for which the ro u t e r ’s f i r ewall

51

III Features & Configurations | Tenda

will be disabled. Be sure to statically set the IP address of the device that
serves as a DMZ host for this function to be consistent.

② Enable: Check to enable the DMZ host functionality.

③ Click Save to save your settings.

Tip

Security softwares such as anti-virus softwares and OS built-in firewall, etc.
may affect the DMZ host feature. Disable them if the DMZ host fails.

4.3 UPNP

The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) feature allows network devices, such as
computers from the Internet, to access resources on local host or devices as
needed. UPnP-enabled devices can be discovered automatically by the UPnP
service application on the LAN. If you use applications such as multiplayer
gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time communications such as instant
messaging, or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you may need to
enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) for better experience.
Click Advanced -> UPnP to enter the configuration screen. The UPnP feature is
enabled by default.

52

III Features & Configurations | Tenda

4.4 Remote Web Management

The Remote Web Management allows the device to be configured and managed
remotely from the Internet via a Web browser.
Click Advanced -> Remote Web Management to enter the configuration
screen.

Tip

① For better security, configure a port number (between 1025 and 65535) as

the remote Web management interface, do not use the number of any
common service port (1~1024).

② Make sure your WAN IP address (Internet IP address) is a public IP address.

Private IP addresses are not routed on the Internet.

③ It is unsafe to make your router remotely accessible to all PCs on external

network. For the purpose of security, we suggest that you only enter the IP
address of the PC that is to be used to remotely manage your device.

Remote Web Management Application Example:

To access your device (WAN IP address: 102.33.66.88) at your home from the

53

III Features & Configurations | Tenda

PC (218.88.93.33) at your office via the port number of 8090, follow the steps
below:

① Enable: Check to enable the remote Web management feature.

② Port: Enter 8090.

③ IP Address: Specify the IP address for remote management. Here in this

example, enter 218.88.93.33.

④ Click Save to save your settings.

Type "ht tp://102.33.66.88: 8 0 9 0 " into your br o ws e r ’s address or location field

and you can remotely access the router from your home.

Knowledge Center

IP Address: Here you can specify the IP address for remote management (If set

to "0.0.0.0", the device becomes remotely accessible to all the PCs on the
Internet or other external networks).
Port: This is the management port to be open to outside access. The default
setting is 8080. This can be changed.

4.5 Bandwidth Control (Available only in 4G600)

If there are multiple PCs behind your device competing for limited bandwidth
resource, then you can use this feature to specify a reasonable amount of

54

III Features & Configurations | Tenda

bandwidth for each such PC, so that no one will be over stuffed or starved to
death. Note that this feature is unavailable in 3G/4G Router Mode.

Bandwidth Control Application Example:

You share a 4M-broadband service with your neighbor (at the IP address of

192.168.0.125). He always downloads a large volume of data from the Internet,
which sharply frustrates your Internet surfing experience; you can use this
feature to set limits for the volume of Internet traffic he can get. For example,
you can equally split the bandwidth, so your neighbor can only use up to 2M
Internet traffic and you can smoothly enjoy 2M.

Configuration Procedures:

① Bandwidth Control: Check the Enable box to enable the feature.

② IP Address: Enter the last number of the IP address. Here in this example,

enter 125 in both boxes.

③ Upload Limit: Set a limit to regulate the uplink bandwidth of PC(s) on the

LAN. Here in this example, enter 32 in both boxes.

④ Download Limit: Set a limit to regulate the downlink bandwidth of PC(s)

on the LAN. Here in this example, enter 256 in both boxes.

⑤ Enable: Check to enable the current rule.

⑥ Add to List: Click to add the current rule to the rule list.

⑦ Click Save to save your settings.

55

III Features & Configurations | Tenda

Tip

① 1M=128KByte/s.

② The volume of uplink traffic/downlink traffic should not be larger than that

allowed on your device's WAN (Internet) port. Consult your ISP, if you are
not sure of the total volume of Internet traffic that you can have.

③ The bandwidth for ADSL/DSL line usually refers to the download bandwidth.

4.6 Client Filter (Available only in 4G600)

This section allows you to set the times specific clients can or cannot access
the I n t e r net via the d e v i c e s’ IP ad dresses an d service p o r t . Note that this
feature is unavailable in 3G/4G Router Mode.
