Encapsulation	The PPPoE choice is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE. The router supports
	PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF standard (RFC
	2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem
	(i.e. DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. Operationally, PPPoE saves significant
	effort for both the end user and ISP/carrier, as it requires no specific configuration
	of the broadband modem at the customer site. By implementing PPPoE directly on
	the router rather than individual computers, the computers on the LAN do not need
	PPPoE software installed, since the router does that part of the task. Further, with
	NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have access.

Service Name	Type the PPPoE service name provided to you. PPPoE uses a service name to
	identify and reach the PPPoE server. This field is optional.

User Name	Type the user name given to you by your ISP.

Password	Type the password associated with the user name above.
