Chapter 5 Advanced Setup
☞Note: If changes have been made to one or more Advanced Setup settings and Save and Restart has not been clicked before leaving the Advanced Setup screens (i.e., switching to Utilities or Basic Setup), all Advanced Setup settings changes will be lost.
WAN IP Address
Selecting WAN IP Address in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates the “WAN IP Address” screen. WAN IP Address allows manual set up of the IP address of the Gateway. There are four ways to do this: Transparent Bridging, Obtain an IP Address through PPPoE/PPPoA, Obtain an IP Address Through DHCP, and Specify a Static IP Address.
☞Note: Some DSL providers use PPPoE/PPPoA to establish com- munication with an end user, while others use static IP. Some types of broadband Internet connections (such as fixed point wireless) may use either DHCP or Static IP address. If unsure about which connection is present, check with the Internet Service Provider (ISP) before continuing.
After selecting a connection type, click Next to continue configuring the connection.
