Additional Software
It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the Internet. Additional
software must be installed if you are using the device a simple bridge. For a bridged connection, the information needed
to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on another computer or gateway device, not in the Router itself.
If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPPoE, PPPoA or Static IP connection, the information needed to establish
and maintain the Internet connection can be stored in the Router. In this case, it is not necessary to install software on
your computer. It may however be necessary to change some settings in the device, including account information used
to identify and verify the connection.
Information you will need from your ADSL service provider:
