Internet Connection Requires Login and Uses PPPoE

If your Internet connection does require login, select Yes and fill in the settings according to
1.
the instructions below.
Note: You will no longer need to launch the ISP's login program on your computer in order to
access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router automatically logs you
in.
Choose PPPoE for the encapsulation method.

Enter the login name (frequently the email address your ISP provided), password, and service

name (if required).
If you want to change the login timeout, enter a new value in minutes. This determines how
4.
long the router keeps the Internet connection active after there is no Internet activity from the
LAN. Entering an Idle Timeout value of zero means never log out.
When a connection uses PPPoE, the IP address is normally assigned automatically. However,

the DG834 allows this address to be set manually.
• Select "Get Automatically from ISP" if your ISP assigns your IP address.
• Select "Use Static IP Address" if your ISP gives you a statically assigned address.
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.
6.
• Select "Get Automatically from ISP" if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers.
Your ISP will automatically assign this address.
• Select "Use These DNS Servers" if your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses. Type
the primary and secondary addresses.
You should only disable NAT if you are sure you do not require it. NAT automatically assigns
7.
private IP addresses (192.168.0.x) to LAN connected devices. When NAT is disabled, only
standard routing is performed by this router.
Classical routing lets you directly manage the IP addresses the DG834 uses. Classical routing
should be selected only by experienced users.
