| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Toggles Network Address Translation (NAT) on or off for the selected network interface

! style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Use broadcast flag

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | yes {{!}} no; Default: '''no'''  

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Required for certain ISPs (Internet Service Providers), e.g. Charter with DOCSIS 3

! style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Use default gateway

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | yes {{!}} no; Default: '''yes'''

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Uses the default gateway obtained through DHCP. If left unchecked, no default route is configured

! style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Use DNS servers advertised by peer

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | yes {{!}} no; Default: '''no'''

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Uses DNS servers obtained from DHCP. If left unchecked, the advertised DNS server addresses are ignored

! style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Use custom DNS servers

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | ip; Default: " "

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Lets you chose your own preferred DNS servers. This field only becomes visible if '''Use DNS servers advertised by peer''' field is unchecked

! style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Use gateway metric

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | integer; Default: "0"

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | The WAN configuration by default generates a routing table entry. In this field you can alter the metric of that entry. Higher metric means higher priority

! style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Client ID to send when requesting DHCP

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | string; Default: " "

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Client ID which will be sent when requesting a DHCP lease

! style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Vendor class to send when requesting DHCP

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | string; Default: " "

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Vendor class which will be sent when requesting a DHCP lease

! style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Override MAC address

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | mac; Default: '''router's mac'''

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Override MAC address of the WAN interface. For example, your ISP (Internet Service Provider) gives you a static IP address and it might also bind it to your computers MAC address (i.e., that IP will only work with your computer but not with your router). In this field you can enter your computer’s MAC address and fool the gateway in to thinking that it is communicating with your computer

! style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Override MTU

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | integer [0..1500]; Default: '''1500'''

| style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;" | Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) – specifies the largest possible size of a data packet
