Setup WAN
A correct WAN Setup allows you to successfully share your Internet
connection among the wired and wireless clients of the router. To do so,
you need to identify the type of broadband Internet access you are
subscribed to:
i. Cable Internet where your ISP dynamically assigns a WAN IP
address
ii. Cable Internet where your ISP provides you with a fixed WAN
IP address (or a range of fixed IP addresses)
iii. ADSL Internet that requires standard PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
for authentication
iv. ADSL Internet that requires standard Point-to-Point Tunneling
Protocol (PPTP) for authentication.
v. ADSL Internet that requires standard Layer 2 Tunneling
Protocol (L2TP) for authentication. L2TP is an extension to the
PPP protocol that enables ISPs to operate VPNs. It is the best
combination of PPTP (from Microsoft) and L2F (from Cisco
Systems). It has the most similar parameters of the PPTP except
that it does not support the DHCP server.
