Ethernet mode
If you select Ethernet (router-only) mode, the following fields are available:
Language
Select your language To use a different language, select one from the drop-
down menu. The language of the browser-based utility will change five seconds
after you select another language.
Internet Setup
The Internet Setup section configures the router to your Internet connection.
Most of this information can be obtained through your Internet Service
Provider (ISP).
Internet Connection Type
Select the type of Internet connection your ISP provides from the drop-down
menu. The available types are:
• Automatic Configuration - DHCP
• Static IP
• PPPoE
• PPTP
• L2TP
• Telstra Cable
Automatic Configuration - DHCP
The default Internet Connection Type is Automatic Configuration - DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). Keep the default only if your ISP
supports DHCP or if you connect using a dynamic IP address. (This option
usually applies to cable connections.)
Static IP
If you are required to use a fixed IP address to connect to the Internet, select
Static IP.
PPPoE
If you have a DSL connection, check whether your ISP uses Point-to-Point
Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE). If so, select PPPoE.
Connect on Demand or Keep Alive
The Connect on Demand and Keep Alive options let you choose whether
the router connects to the Internet only as needed (useful if your ISP charges
for connect time), or if the router should always be connected. Select the
appropriate option.
PPTP
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a service that generally applies to
connections in Europe.
If your PPTP connection supports DHCP or a dynamic IP address, then select
Obtain an IP Address Automatically. If you are required to use a fixed IP
address to connect to the Internet, then select Specify an IP Address and
configure the options below.
