This page allows you to specify how the WAN port of the router connects to your ISP’s
server. There are four types of connection ways for you to select from. Please choose your
connection mode from the drop-down list as required by your ISP. The default setting is
PPPoE.
PPPoE: PPP over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an
always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection. With PPPoE the client does not set
a static IP address, instead an IP address is assigned dynamically whenever the client access
to the Internet. For detailed settings please refer to advanced “WAN Setting”.
1. Enter the user ID (user name) and password provide by your Internet service provider.
2. Then select the connection type as required. (For detailed description please refer to
advanced “WAN setting”.)
3. Click “apply” button.
4. Press connect / disconnect button to block the connection or reconnect to Internet.
Obtain an IP address automatically: The WAN IP address and the default gateway IP
address is assigned by the ISP or DHCP server of another subnet or xDSL/cable modem. ( If
the modem system has DHCP server capability, the Broadband Home Router can act as a
DHCP client and receive its WAN IP address and subnet mask from the modem.)
Specify an IP address: If your ISP has assigned a fixed permanent IP address for you, you
can choose this connection mode.
