Setting Up Your Modem Router Manually

If you elect not to use the Smart Wizard, you can set up the modem router manually. However, you need to prepare the following before you can set up your modem:

•Active Internet service provided by an Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) account.

•The Internet Service Provider (ISP) configuration information for your ADSL account.

–ISP login name and password

–ISP Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses

–Fixed or static IP address

–Host and domain names

•Depending on how your ISP set up your Internet account, you need to know one or more of these settings:

–Virtual path identifier (VPI) and Virtual channel identifier (VCI) parameters

–Multiplexing method

–Host and domain names

•ASDL microfilters as explained in the ADSL2+ Modem Router Setup Manual.

•Your computer must be set up to use DHCP to get its TCP/IP configuration from a router. This is usually the case. For help with DHCP, see the documentation that came with your computer, or see the link to the online document in “Preparing Your Network” in Appendix B.

Your ISP should have provided you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet. If you cannot locate this information, you can ask your ISP to provide it.

You can use the Setup Wizard to auto-detect your Internet connection, or you can bypass the wizard and enter settings in the Quick Setup screens.

•Setup Wizard. This wizard searches your Internet connection for servers and protocols to determine your Internet Service Provider (ISP) configuration. See the following section, “Using the Setup Wizard to Auto-Detect the Internet Connection.”

Note: The Setup Wizard cannot detect a PPTP connection with your ISP. If your ISP uses this protocol, then you must use Quick Setup to configure your connection manually.
