Before you Install your Router

Before you can configure the Router you need to know the IP
information allocation method used by your ISP. There are four
different ways that ISPs allocate IP information, as described
below:

Dynamic IP Address (DSL or Cable)

Dynamic IP addressing (or DHCP) automatically assigns the Router
IP information. This method is popular with Cable providers. This
method is also used if your modem has a built in DHCP server.

PPPoE (DSL only)

If the installation instructions that accompany your modem ask
you to install a PPPoE client on your PC then select this option.
Note that when you install the Router, you will not need to use
the PPPoE software on your PC. To configure the Router you will
need to know the following: Username, Password, and Service
