Basic Setup - Manhattan 525459 User Manual

While PPPoE is the most common way to connect to DSL Internet service, it still
may be necessary to enable "Cable Modem" in the Broadband settings. Below are
examples for using Cable Modem instead of xDSL PPPoE, even if your Internet
service is a DSL service.
• Your ISP has given you a so-called "modem-router" instead of a simple modem.
• Your ISP has not given you a username and password for PPPoE login (implying
that it is not required).
• When your computer is connected directly to the modem, the computer obtains
an IP address which is in the private IP network range (19.2.168..xxx.yyy, 10.xxx.yyy,
172.16.xxx.yyy).
• You can connect to the Internet with your computer connected directly to the
modem without using a dialer program asking for a username and password.
• If attempts to utilize PPPoE xDSL fail repeatedly, you should activate "Cable
Modem" as a troubleshooting step.
