Configure your router for connection to your Internet Service
Provider (ISP)
The Internet/WAN tab is where you will set up your router to connect to your Internet
Service Provider (ISP). The router is capable of connecting to virtually any ISP's system
provided you have correctly configured the router's settings for your ISP's connection type.
Your ISP connection settings are provided to you by your ISP.
To configure the router with the settings that your ISP gave you:
1 Click Connection Type on the left side of the screen, then select the connection type
you use.
2 If your ISP gave you DNS settings, clicking DNS lets you enter DNS address entries for
ISPs that require specific settings.
3 Click MAC address to clone your computer's MAC address or type in a specific WAN
MAC address, if required by your ISP.
4 When you have finished making settings, the Internet Status indicator will read
connection OK if your router is set up properly.
To set your Connection Type:
1 Click Connection Type from the menu on the left side of the screen. The Connection
Type page opens. From this page you can select the type of connection you use by
clicking the button next to your connection type and then clicking Next.
Setting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connection Type to Dynamic IP
A dynamic connection type is the most common connection type used with cable modems.
Setting the connection type to dynamic in many cases is enough to complete the
connection to your ISP. Some dynamic connection types may require a host name. You can
enter your host name in the space provided if you were assigned one. Your host name is
assigned by your ISP. Some dynamic connections may require that you clone the MAC address
of the PC that was originally connected to the modem.
