Basic Settings Help

Note: If you are setting up the Router for the first time, the default settings may work for you with
no changes.
Does Your Internet Connection Require A Login?
Select this option based on the type of account you have with your ISP. If you need to enter login
information every time you connect to the Internet or you have a PPPoE account with your ISP,
select Yes. Otherwise, select No.
Note: If you have installed PPP software such as WinPoET (from Earthlink) or Enternet (from
PacBell), then you have PPPoE. Select Yes. After selecting Yes and configuring your Router, you
will not need to run the PPP software on your PC to connect to the Internet.
Account Name
(also known as Host Name or System Name)
For most users, type your account name or user name in this box. For example, if your main mail
account is JerAB@ISP.com, then put JerAB in this box.
If your ISP has given you a specific Host name, then type it (for example, CCA7324-A).
Domain Name
For most users, you may leave this box blank, unless required by your ISP. You may type the
domain name of your ISP. For example, if your ISP's mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.zzz, you would
type xxx.yyy.zzz as the Domain Name.
If you have a Domain name given to you by your ISP, type it in this box. (For example, Earthlink
Cable may require a Host name of 'home' and Comcast sometimes supplies a Domain name.)
Internet IP Address
If you log in to your service or your ISP did not provide you with a fixed IP address, the Router will
find an IP address for you automatically when you connect. Select Get Dynamically From ISP.
If you have a fixed (or static IP) address, your ISP will have provided you with the required
information. Select Use Static IP Address and type the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP
Address into the correct boxes.
