The Setup Tab - Basic Setup

Internet Setup

The Internet Setup section configures the Router for your Internet connection type. This information can be obtained from your ISP.

Internet Connection Type

The Router supports six connection types: Automatic Configuration - DHCP, Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP, Telstra Cable, and L2TP. Each Basic Setup screen and available features will differ depending on what kind of connection type you select.

Automatic Configuration - DHCP

By default, the Router’s Internet Connection Type is set to Automatic Configuration - DHCP, and it should be used only if your ISP supports DHCP or you are connecting through a dynamic IP address.
