The following descriptions explain all of the possible fields on the Internet Setup screen. The
fields that display on this screen depend on whether an ISP login is required.
Does Your ISP Require a Login? Select either the Yes or No radio button.
These fields display when no login is required:
•
Account Name (If Required). Enter the account name provided by your ISP. This name
might also be called the host name.
•
Domain Name (If Required). Enter the domain name provided by your ISP.
These fields display when your ISP does require a login:

•
Login. Enter the login name provided by your ISP. This name is often an email address.
•
Password. Enter the password that you use to log in to your ISP.
•
Service Name (If Required). Enter the service name provided by your ISP. If your ISP
did not give you a service name, leave this field blank.
•
Connection Mode. Select the one of the following connection modes:
-
Always On. The connection automatically starts when you turn on the router and
does not time out. If the connection is terminated for some reason, the router attempts
to reestablish the connection.
-
Dial on Demand. The connection automatically starts when outbound traffic to the
Internet exists and automatically terminates when the idle time-out period is
exceeded.
-
Manually Connect. You need to connect and disconnect manually. For information
about how to connect to the Internet, see
Connect and Disconnect buttons in the Connection Status screen display only when
the connection mode is Manually Connect.
•
Idle Timeout (In Minutes). If you want to change the login time-out, enter a new value in
minutes. This setting determines how long the router keeps the Internet connection active
after no Internet activity from the LAN is detected. Entering a value of 0 (zero) means
never log out.

address that your ISP assigned to you. The gateway is the ISP router to which your router
should connect.
