PPP OVER ETHERNET (PPPOE)
What is PPPoE?
PPPoE is known as a dial-up DSL service. It is designed to integrate the broadband services
into the current widely deployed, easy-to-use, and low-cost dial-up-access networking
infrastructure. Thus, customer can get greater access speed without changing the operation
concept.
How can I know I am using PPPoE?
PPPoE client software is provided by our ISP and should be installed onto your computer
first. You run the program to connect/disconnect to the Internet. User Account information
(User Name and Password) is also required each time you connect to the Internet access.
Note: After you have entered the PPPoE information during the device setup, after starting
up the device, the device will provide your Internet Service the PPPoE information and login
automatically. It is not necessary to install and run the PPPoE software on the computers
and you can just uninstall the PPPoE software from your computers.
