Wireless ADSL Modem Router Setup Manual

Your ISP may require a login program.

Ask your ISP whether they require PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) or PPP over ATM (PPPOA) login.

If you have selected a login program, you may have incorrectly set the Service Name, User Name and Password. See “Troubleshooting PPPoE or PPPoA”, below.

Your ISP may check for your computer's host name.

Assign the computer Host Name of your ISP account to the wireless ADSL modem router in the browser-based Setup Wizard.

Your ISP only allows one Ethernet MAC address to connect to Internet, and may check for your computer’s MAC address. In this case:

Inform your ISP that you have bought a new network device, and ask them to use the router’s MAC address.

OR

Configure your router to spoof your computer’s MAC address. This can be done in the Basic Settings menu. Refer to the online help in the wireless ADSL modem router main menu.

Troubleshooting PPPoE or PPPoA

The PPPoA or PPPoA connection can be debugged as follows:

1.Access the Main Menu of the router at http://192.168.0.1.

2.Under the Maintenance heading, select the Router Status link.

3.Click the Connection Status button.

4.If all of the steps indicate “OK” then your PPPoE or PPPoA connection is up and working.

5.If any of the steps indicates “Failed”, you can attempt to reconnect by clicking “Connect”. The wireless ADSL modem router will continue to attempt to connect indefinitely.

If you cannot connect after several minutes, you may be using an incorrect Service Name, User Name or Password. There also may be a provisioning problem with your ISP.

Note: Unless you connect manually, the wireless ADSL modem router will not authenticate using PPPoE or PPPoA until data is transmitted to the network.
