I am a PPPoE user, and I need to remove the proxy
settings or the dial-up pop-up window.
If you have proxy settings, you need to disable these on
your computer. Because the Router is the gateway for the
Internet connection, the computer does not need any
proxy settings to gain access. Please follow these directions
to verify that you do not have any proxy settings and that
the browser you use is set to connect directly to the LAN.
For Microsoft Internet Explorer .0 or higher:
1. Click Start, Settings, and Control Panel. Double-click
Internet Options.
Click the Connections tab.

My DSL service's PPPoE is always disconnecting.
PPPoE is not actually a dedicated or always-on connection.
The DSL ISP can disconnect the service after a period of
inactivity, just like a normal phone dial-up connection to
the Internet. There is a setup option to "keep alive" the
connection. This may not always work, so you may need
to re-establish connection periodically.
1. To connect to the Router, go to the web browser, and
enter http://9.8.. or the IP address of the
Router.
2. Enter the password, if asked (default password is
admin).
On the Setup -> Basic Setup tab, select the option

Keep Alive, and set the Redial Period option to 0
(seconds).
