DHCP Client List

You can view a list of the computers, which are connected to your network. You are able to view the IP address of the computer, the host name (name of the computer in your network), and the MAC address of the computer’s network interface card (NIC). Pressing the “Refresh” button will update the list. If there have been any changes, the list will be updated.

Internet WAN

The “Internet WAN” tab is where you will set up your Router to connect to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The Router is capable of connecting to virtually any ADSL service provider’s system provided you have correctly configured the Router’s settings for your ISP’s connection type. Your connection settings are provided to you by your ISP.

To configure the Router with the settings that your ISP gave you, click “Connection Type” (1) on the left side of the screen. Select the connection type you use. If your ISP gave you DNS settings, clicking “DNS” (2) allows you to enter DNS address entries for ISPs that require specific settings. When you have finished making settings, the “Internet Status” indicator will read “Connected” if your Router is set up properly.

Connection Type

From the “Connection Type” page, you can select one of these five connection types based on the instructions provided by your ISP:

PPPoE

PPPoA

Dynamic IP (1483 Bridged) Static IP (IPoA)

Modem Only (Disable Internet Sharing)

Note: If you are not sure which connection type to select, please contact your ISP.

Select the type of connection you use by clicking the radio button next to your connection type and then clicking “Next”.
