Step 4: Configuring your Router for Connection to your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
The “Internet/WAN” tab is where you will set up your Router to connect to your ISP. The Router is capable of connecting to virtually any ISP’s system provided you have correctly configured the Router’s settings for your ISP’s connection type. Your ISP connection settings are provided to you by your ISP. To configure the Router with the settings that your ISP gave you, click “Connection Type” (A) on the left side of the screen. Select the connection type you use. If your ISP gave you DNS settings, clicking “DNS” (B) allows you to enter DNS address entries for ISPs that require specific settings. Clicking “MAC Address” (C) will let you clone your computer’s MAC address or type in a specific WAN MAC address, if required by your ISP. When you have finished making settings, the “Internet Status” indicator will read “connection OK” if your Router is set up properly.
