•  Only use Jumbo Frame settings when operating in a Gigabit 

environment where all other clients have Jumbo Frame Setting 

enabled. 

•  Enabling DHCP automatically turns on UPnP—see the Service 

Support Screen. 

•  If you are only using the WAN port, we suggest that you disable IP 

Sharing Mode. This will result in higher throughput. 

•  A correct DNS setting is vital to networks services, such as SMTP 

and NTP. 

•  To use the Link Aggregation with “802.3ad selected” feature, 

please make sure the networking equipment on the other end of 

Ethernet cable also supports 802.3ad protocol.
