D-Link DI-724GU manual Detected xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network

Section 3 - Configuration

Connection Type:

Detected xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network :

By default, the router automatically determines whether the underlying connection is an xDSL/Frame-relay network or some other connection type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it displays the result as Detected xDSL or Frame Relay Network. If you have an unusual network connection in which you are actually connected via xDSL but for which you configure either “Static” or “DHCP” in the WAN settings, setting this option to xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router will recognize that it needs to shape traffic slightly differently in order to give the best performance. Choosing xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network causes the measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on such connections, but gives much better results.

When Connection Type is set to Auto-detect, the automatically detected connection type is displayed here.
