DESCRIPTION
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.
Type the PPPoE service name provided to you. PPPoE uses a service name to
identify and reach the PPPoE server. This field is optional.
Type the user name given to you by your ISP.
Type the password associated with the user name above.
Type your password again to make sure that you have entered is correctly.
