•PPPoE. Some DSL-based ISPs use PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) to establish Internet connections. If you are connected to the Internet through a DSL line, check with your ISP to see if they use PPPoE. If they do, you will have to enable PPPoE.

User name and Password. Enter the User Name and Password you use when logging onto your ISP through a PPPoE or PPTP connection.

Service Name. Provided by ISP, some service providers require it for authentication. Please leave it blank if your ISP doesn't require it.

PPPoE with Fixed IP Address. Some PPPoE based ISPs assign a fixed IP for their PPPOE client. If your ISP gives you a fixed IP, enter it here or leave it blank if your ISP doesn't provide this info.

Auto Connect on Demand. If Auto Connect On Demand is selected, the Router will try to establish the PPPoE connection every time it detects an Internet access request. The Router will terminate the PPPOE session after a period of idle time, which can be set by the user. The default idle time is 5 minutes. Click on Show Connection Duration to show the current connection uptime. User can also set a timer that can enable the Router to pop up a message Window automatically to remind the user of the current connection uptime duration. Note: if your Internet browser is set to block popup windows, you will not be able to see the popup window.

Manual Connect on Demand. If Manual Connect On Demand is selected, the Router will try to establish the PPPoE connection ONLY when the first time it detects the Internet access request. The Router will then terminate the PPPOE session after a period of idle time which can be set by the user. The default idle time is 5 minutes. Unlike Auto Connect on Demand, the Router will NOT automatically establish PPPOE connection any more even it detects the new Internet access request. Unless user manually click on Connect to re- establish the connection. Click on Show Connection Duration to show the current connection uptime. User can also set a timer which can enable Router to popup a message Window automatically to remind the user on the current connection uptime duration.

Note: If your Internet Browser is set to block the popup windows, you will not be able to see the popup window.

Keep Alive Option. This option keeps you connected to the Internet indefinitely, even when your connection sits idle. To use this option, click the radio button next to Keep Alive. The default Redial Period is 30 seconds (In other words, the Router will check the Internet connection every 30 seconds).
