WAN IP Address

Selecting WAN IP Address in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen gen-

erates the “WAN IP Address” screen. WAN IP Address allows manual set up of the

IP address of the Router. There are three ways to do this: Obtain an IP Address

through PPPoE, Obtain an IP Address through DHCP, or Specify a Static

IP Address.

☞ Note: Some DSL providers use PPPoE to establish communica-

tion with an end user. Other types of broadband Internet con-

nections (such as fixed point wireless) may use either DHCP or

Static IP address. If unsure about which connection is present,

check with the ISP before continuing.

After selecting a connection type, click Next to continue configuring the connection.

Obtain an IP Address through PPPoE

Select this option to allow the Router to use the Point-to-Point over Ethernet

(PPPoE) protocol.
