Alternate Setup Method

Setting your ISP Connection Type to PPPoE or PPPoA

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is the standard method of connecting networked devices. It requires a user name and password to access the network of your ISP for connecting to the Internet. PPPoA (PPP over ATM) is similar to PPPoE, but is mostly implemented in the UK. Select PPPoE or PPPoA and click “Next”. Then enter the information provided by your ISP, and click “Apply Changes” to activate your settings.
