TP-Link TL-WR710N User Manual page 29

The Router supports three popular ways PPPoE, Dynamic IP and Static IP to connect to the
Internet. To make sure the connection type your ISP provides, please refer to the ISP. Make sure
the cable is securely plugged into the WAN port before detection.
Auto Detect - If you don't know the connection type your ISP provides, use this option to
allow the Quick Setup to search your Internet connection for servers and protocols and
determine your ISP configuration.
PPPoE - For this connection, you will need your account name and password from your ISP.
If you have applied ADSL to realize Dial-up service, you should choose this type. Under this
condition, you should fill in both the User Name and Password that the ISP supplied. Please
note that these fields are case-sensitive.
Dynamic IP - Your ISP uses a DHCP service to assign your Router an IP address for
connecting to the Internet. When the Router connects to a DHCP server, or the ISP supplies
you with DHCP connection, please choose this type. If you choose this type of connection, no
configuration should be set and you can go on with the wireless configuration in Figure 3-9 .
Static IP - This type of connection uses a permanent, fixed (static) IP address that your ISP
assigned. In this type, you should fill in the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and
DNS IP address manually, which are specified by your ISP. Then click Next and proceed to
Figure 3-9.
