DESCRIPTION
The PPP over Ethernet choice is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE.
The NBG-460N supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet).
PPPoE is an IETF Draft standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal
computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (i.e. xDSL, 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.
Type the user name given to you by your ISP.
Type the password associated with the user name above.
