PPPoE
Some DSL-based ISPs use PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)
to establish Internet connections. If you are connected to the Internet
through a DSL line, check with your ISP to see if they use PPPoE. If they
do, you will have to enable PPPoE.
User Name and Password Enter the User Name and Password provided
by your ISP.
Connect on Demand: Max Idle Time You can configure the Router to cut
the Internet connection after it has been inactive for a specified period of
time (Max Idle Time). If your Internet connection has been terminated due
to inactivity, Connect on Demand enables the Router to automatically re-
establish your connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet
again. If you wish to activate Connect on Demand, click the radio button. In
the Max Idle Time field, enter the number of minutes you want to have
elapsed before your Internet connection terminates.
