Internet Setup Screen Fields

The following descriptions explain all of the possible fields in the Internet Setup screen. The
fields that display in this screen depend on whether an ISP login is required.
Does Your ISP Require a Login? Answer either yes or no.
These fields display when no login is required:
Account Name (if required). Enter the account name that your ISP provided. This might
also be called the host name.
Domain Name (if required). Enter the domain name that your ISP provided.
These fields display when your ISP requires a login:
Internet Service Provider Encapsulation. ISP types. The choices are PPPoE, PPTP, or
L2TP.
Login. The login name provided by your ISP. This is often an email address.
Password. The password that you use to log in to your ISP.
Idle Timeout (In minutes). If you want to change the login timeout, enter a new value in
minutes. This determines how long the router keeps the Internet connection active after
there is no Internet activity from the LAN. Entering a value of 0 (zero) means never log
out.
Internet IP Address.
Get Dynamically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP
automatically assigns these addresses.
Use Static IP Address. Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and the gateway IP
address that your ISP assigned. The gateway is the ISP’s router to which your router will
connect.
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address. The DNS server is used to look up site addresses
based on their names.
Get Automatically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your ISP
automatically assigns this address.
