WAN Connection Type
There are several connection types to choose from: Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, and Russia
PPTP. If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your Internet Service Provider.
Static
Used when your ISP provides you a set IP address that does not change. The IP information is manually
entered in your IP configuration settings. You must enter the IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Primary
DNS Server, and Secondary DNS Server. Your ISP provides you with all of this information.
DHCP
A method of connection where the ISP assigns your IP address when your router requests one from the
ISP's server.
Host Name: Some ISP's may check your computer's Host Name. The Host Name identifies your system
to the ISP's server.
PPPoE
Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)
connection. DSL providers typically use this option. This method of connection requires you to enter a
Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet.
Reconnect Mode: Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The router allows you to set the
reconnection mode. The settings are:
Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
