PPPoE

If your ISP uses the Point-to-Point over Ethernet (PPPoE) protocol to connect you to the Internet, you will be required to fill in the information below.

Parameter

Description

User Name

Enter your user name.

Password

Enter your password.

Please retype your password

Enter your password again for confirmation.

Service Name

Enter the service name (if required).

MTU

As an option, you can specify the maximum size of

 

your transmission packet to the Internet. Leave this

 

field blank if you do not wish to set a maximum

 

packet size.

Maximum Idle Time

As an option, you can specify the idle time

 

threshold (in minutes) for your WAN port. If the

 

time period expires with no Internet activity, the

 

router will automatically disconnect you from your

 

ISP. Setting this value to “0” means that the router

 

will never time out.

Auto-reconnect

When enabled, the router will reconnect a timed-out

 

Internet connection when there is a request by the

 

user to access the Internet.

When you are satisfied with your IP address settings, click the OK button. Congratulations! You have completed the basic router configuration required for a PPPoE connection. You will be taken to the router’s Status page. You can click Logout to begin accessing the Internet.
