The firmware in the modem router automatically senses the type of Internet connection, asking you only for the information required for your type of ISP account.

The modem router allows you to log in to the Web management interface from a remote location via the Internet. For security, you can limit remote management access to a specified remote IP address or range of addresses, or you can choose a nonstandard port number.
