Before you connect a broadband access device e.g. a DSL/Cable modem to Vigor3300 Series, you need to know what kind of Internet access your ISP provides. The following sections introduce four widely used broadband access services: Static, PPPoE, PPTP for DSL, DHCP for Cable modem and DMZ. In most cases, you will get a DSL or cable modem from the broadband access service provider. Vigor3300 Series is connected behind the broadband device i.e. DSL/cable modem and works as a NAT or IP router for broadband connections.
Next, we will introduce each WAN mode in detailed.
