Setup WAN
A correct WAN Setup allows you to successfully share your Internet connection among the wired and wireless clients of the router. To do so, you need to identify the type of broadband Internet access you are subscribed to:
i.Cable Internet where your ISP dynamically assigns a WAN IP address
ii.Cable Internet where your ISP provides you with a fixed WAN IP address (or a range of fixed IP addresses)
iii.ADSL Internet that requires standard PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) for authentication
iv.ADSL Internet that requires standard
v.ADSL Internet that requires standard Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) for authentication. L2TP is an extension to the PPP protocol that enables ISPs to operate VPNs. It is the best combination of PPTP (from Microsoft) and L2F (from Cisco Systems). It has the most similar parameters of the PPTP except that it does not support the DHCP server.
