54 Mbps Wireless Router WGR614v7 Reference Manual Some online games and videoconferencing applications are incompatible with NAT. The wireless router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work properly with them, but there are other applications that may not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application properly if that computer's IP address is entered as the default in the PORTS Menu. If one local computer acts as a game or videoconferencing host, enter its IP address as the default. Configuring the WAN Setup Options The WAN Setup options let you configure a DMZ server, change the MTU size and enable the wireless router to respond to a Ping on the WAN port. These options are discussed below. Figure 6-5: WAN Setup menu. Connect Automatically, as Required Normally, this option should be checked to enable it. An Internet connection will be made automatically after each timeout, whenever Internet-bound traffic is detected. This provides connection on demand and is potentially cost-saving in places in Europe for example where Internet services charge by the minute. If disabled, you must connect manually, using the "Connection Status" button on the Router Status screen. This manual connection will stay up all the time without time outs.
