   • - Screen Size: The screen size to use on the PC. a smaller size gives less traffic.

    

6. If using dynamic IP on the router
   If your internet provider (ISP) only offers a dynamic address, the router IP address may change next time the router is rebooted.

   A solution could be to use a service as NO-IP

   Such a solution will give you the current IP address for the router as a name, which can be used in 5).
