Actiontec electronic GT704WR user manual WAN IP Address, Obtain an IP Address through PPPoE

Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup

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 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.
