•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.
•Connection Mode. Set the Connection Mode to Dial on Demand, Always On, or Manually Connect.
With the default setting, Dial on Demand, a PPPoE/PPTP/L2TP connection automatically starts when there is outbound traffic to the Internet, and it automatically terminates if the connection is idle based on the value in the Idle Timeout setting.When the Connection Mode is set to Always On, the PPPoE/PPTP/L2TP connection automatically starts when the computer boots up, but the connection does not time out. The router will keep trying to bring up the connection if it is disconnected for some reason.If you select Manually Connect, you must go to the Router Status screen and click the Connect button in order to connect to the Internet. The manual connection does not time out and you have to click the Disconnect button on the Router Status screen to disconnect it.
•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.
•Use These DNS Servers. If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the router during login, select this option, and enter the IP address of your ISP’s primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server address is available, enter it also.
Router MAC Address. The Ethernet MAC address used by the router on the Internet port. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the network interface card in your computer when your account is first opened. They will then accept traffic only from the MAC address of that computer. This feature allows your router to use your computer’s MAC address (this is also called cloning).
•Use Default Address. Use the default MAC address.
•Use Computer MAC Address. The router will capture and use the MAC address of the computer that you are now using. You have to use the one computer that is allowed by the ISP.
•Use This MAC Address. Enter the MAC address that you want to use.
