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 five ways to do this: Transparent Bridging, Obtain an
IP Address through PPPoE, Obtain an IP Address Through 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. Other 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.
