WAN Connection Type
There are several connection types to choose from: Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, and
Russia PPTP. If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your Internet Service
Provider. Static
Used when your ISP provides you a set IP address that does not change. The IP information is
manually entered in your IP configuration settings. You must enter the IP address, Subnet Mask,
Gateway, Primary DNS Server, and Secondary DNS Server. Your ISP provides you with all of this
information.
DHCP
A method of connection where the ISP assigns your IP address when your router requests one from
the ISP's server.
Host Name: Some ISP's may check your computer's Host Name. The Host Name identifies your
system to the ISP's server.
PPPoE
Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)
connection. DSL providers typically use this option. This method of connection requires you to enter a
Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet.
Reconnect Mode: Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The 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 as needed.
Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect button
manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet.
