There are six types of Internet connections available, as explained below: Cable
Modem, Fixed IP xDSL, PPPoE xDSL, PPTP xDSL, L2TP xDSL and Telstra
BigPond. Cable Modem and PPPoE xDSL are the most common, but if you're not
sure which type of service you have, simply contact your Internet service provider
(ISP) to find out. You won't be able to connect to the Internet if you choose the
wrong type during the router setup. NOTE: DSL Internet Service Providers
normally operate using the PPPoE protocol; thus, PPPoE xDSL should be the
broadband type. However, in recent years more DSL ISPs provide customers with
DSL modems that handle the PPPoE portion of Internet access automatically. In
such cases, you need to select Cable Modem as your broadband type even if you
have a DSL service.
