Enter the account name provided by your ISP. This might also be called the
host name.
Enter the domain name provided by your ISP.
The login name provided by your ISP. This is often an e-mail address.
The password that you use to log in to your ISP.
If your ISP provided a service name, enter it here.
Select the connection mode: Always on, Dial on Demand, or Manually
Connect.
If you want to change the Internet login time-out, enter a new value in
minutes. This determines how long the wireless router keeps the Internet
connection active after there is no Internet activity from the LAN. Entering
an Idle Timeout value of 0 (zero) means never log out.
Get Dynamically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP
•
address. Your ISP automatically assigns these addresses.
Use Static IP Address. Enter the IP address that your ISP assigned.
•
Also enter the IP subnet mask and the gateway IP address. The
gateway is the ISP's wireless router to which your wireless router will
connect.
Use IP Over ATM (PoA). This option is available only if your ISP does
•
not require a log in.
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.
Get Automatically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS
•
server address automatically.
Use These DNS Servers. If you know your ISP does not automatically
•
transmit DNS addresses to the wireless router during login, select this
option, and enter the IP address of your ISP's primary DNS server. If a
secondary DNS server address is available, enter it also.
NAT automatically assigns private IP addresses (10.1.1.x) to devices on
your LAN.
Enable. Usually NAT is enabled.
•
Disable. This disables NAT, but leaves the firewall active. Disable NAT
•
only if you are sure that you do not require it. When NAT is disabled,
only standard routing is performed by this router. Classical routing lets
you directly manage the IP addresses that the wireless router uses.
Classical routing should be selected only by experienced users.
