WAN Setup - ADSL Internet using PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)

If you subscribe to an ADSL service using PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) authentication, you can set up your access point’s WAN type as follows. For example, you may configure an account whose username is ‘guest’ as described below:

Step 1:

Under CONFIGURATION on the command menu, click on WAN Setup.

Step 2:

Access the Select WAN Type page and choose PPP over Ethernet before clicking the Apply button. You will then be brought to the following page requiring your inputs.

Step 3:

For Username, key in your ISP assigned account name (e.g. guest for this example), followed by your account Password.

Step 4:

Select Always-Onif you want your access point to always maintain a connection with the ISP. Otherwise, you may select On-Demand. The access point will then connect to the ISP automatically when it receives Internet requests from the PCs in your network.

The Idle Timeout setting is associated with the On-Demandoption, allowing you to specify the value (in seconds) after which the access point will disconnect from the ISP after the last Internet activity. A value of “0” will disable idle timeout. Reconnect Time Factor is associated with the Always-onoption and specifies the maximum time the access point will wait before re-attempting to connect with your ISP. Hit the Apply button and Reboot the access point.
