The
PPP IP Extension
The PPP IP Extension is a special feature deployed by some service providers. Unless your service provider specially requires this setup, do not select it. The PPP IP Extension supports the following conditions:
Allows only one PC on the LAN
The public IP address assigned by the remote side using the PPP/IPCP protocol is actually not used on the WAN PPP interface. Instead, it is forwarded to the PC’s LAN interface through DHCP. Only one PC on the LAN can be connected to the remote, since the DHCP server within the ADSL router has a single IP address to assign to a LAN device.
NAPT and firewall are disabled when this option is selected.
The ADSL router becomes the default gateway and DNS server to the PC through DHCP
