•Login and Password. This is the user name and password provided by your ISP. This name
and password are used to log in to the ISP server.
•Service Name. If your connection is capable of connecting to multiple Internet services, this
setting specifies which service to use.
•Connection Mode. This drop-down list (shown in Figure1-7 on page 1-9) selects when the
router will connect to and disconnect from the Internet. The list includes:
–Always On. The router logs in to the Internet immediately after booting and never
disconnects.
–Dial on Demand. The router logs in only when outgoing traffic is present and logs out
after the idle time-out.
–Manually Connect. The router logs in or logs out only when the user clicks Connect or
Disconnect in the Router Status screen.
Note: The Telstra Bigpond setting is only for older cable modem service
accounts still requiring a Bigpond login utility. Telstra has
discontinued this type of account. Those with Telstra DSL accounts
and newer cable modem accounts should select No for Does Your
Internet Connection Require a Login.
