PPPoE WAN Mode

Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) connection. This method of connection requires you to enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet.

Service Name: Some ISP's may require that you enter a *Service Name.

Only enter a Service Name if your ISP requires one.

Reconnect Mode:

Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The Wireless router allows you to set the reconnection mode. The settings are:

•Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.

•On demand: A connection to the Internet is made when needed.

•Manual: Every time you wish to connect the internet, you MUST enter the configuration menu and click on the Connect button

*Maximum Idle Time: Time the device will idle before the PPPoE connection is disconnected.

The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" connection mode.
