Wide Area Network Connection

The DSL connection is the Wide Area Network (WAN) connection. The requirements for the WAN connection depend on your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Local Area Network Connection

On the other side of your router are your own Local Area Network (LAN) connections. This is where you plug in your local computers to the router. The router is normally configured to automatically provide all the PCs on your network with Internet addresses.

If you connected a PC (rather than a hub or a switch) directly to the router, your

LAN consists of that PC.

Saving Changes

Note that the Apply button temporarily saves changes you make. To make changes permanent, click on Tools (at the top of the page) and select System Commands. At the System Commands page, click on Save All.
