4 Setting up Internet access

The LANCOM provides a central point of Internet access for all of the comput-
ers in the LAN.
The connection to the Internet provider can be established via the WAN con-
nection which is connected to an ADSL or cable modem.
For models not equipped with a WAN connector, a LAN interface is configured
as a DSLoL connector and is connected to a compatible ADSL modem.
The connection to the Internet provider can be established via any WAN con-
nector, i.e. via ADSL, UMTS or ISDN (where available). Internet access via
UMTS or ISDN can be used to backup an ADSL connection. When setting up
Internet access via UMTS, please also take note of the information under the
→
section 'Setting up the UMTS profile'.
The connection to the Internet provider can be established via any WAN con-
nector, i.e. via DSL or ISDN (where available). Internet access via ISDN can be
used to backup a DSL connection.

Which WAN interface?
Setting up the Internet access is carried out with the help of a convenient Wiz-
ard. In the first step you select the WAN interface that is to be used for estab-
lishing the Internet connection.
To establish an Internet connection via the DSL interface, an external ADSL
modem first has to be connected to one of the device's ETH ports. When set-
ting up the Internet access, you define which ETH port the ADLS modem has
been connected to.
Does the Setup Wizard know your Internet provider?
The Wizard is preset with access data for the principal Internet providers in
your country and offers you a selection list. If you find your Internet provider
in this list, then you generally do not have to enter any additional parameters
