Internet Setup

The Internet Setup section configures the router to your Internet connection. Most of this information can be obtained through your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Select the type of Internet connection your ISP provides from the drop-down menu. The available types are:

Automatic Configuration - DHCP

The default Internet Connection Type is Automatic Configuration - DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). Keep the default only if your ISP supports DHCP or if you connect using a dynamic IP address. (This option usually applies to cable connections.)

Static IP

If you are required to use a fixed IP address to connect to the Internet, select Static IP.

PPPoE

If you have a DSL connection, check whether your ISP uses Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE). If so, select PPPoE.
