The router can be connected to your service provider in any of the following ways. Dynamic IP Address: Obtain an IP address automatically from your service provider. Static IP Address: Uses a static IP address. Your service provider gives a static IP address to access Internet services.
PPPoE: PPP over Ethernet is a common connection method used for xDSL PPPoA: PPP over ATM is a common connection method used for xDSL Bridge: Bridge mode is a common connection method used for xDSL modem. 3.5.2 WAN Status Go to Status -> Device Info and select the Virtual Circuit to see the connection status.
3.5.3 DNS Go to Interface -> LAN to enable DHCP server. Then you can set DNS server for the router. A Domain Name system (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses and Web addresses. If you type a Web address into you browser, a DNS server will find that name in its index and find the matching IP address. Most ISPs provide a DNS server for speed and convenience.
3.5.4 DDNS Go to Access Management -> DDNS to setup your DDNS parameters. Dynamic DNS allows you to update your dynamic IP address with one or many dynamic DNS services. So anyone can access your FTP or Web service on your computer using DNS-like address.
3.6.1 LAN Configuration Go to Interface Setup -> LAN. The 'LAN Settings' option enables you to configure the LAN port. If the DHCP Relay is selected, the DHCP requests from local PCs are forward to the DHCP server runs on WAN side. To have this function working properly, disable the NAT to run on router mode only, disable the DHCP server on the LAN port, and make sure the routing table has the correct routing entry. 3.7.1 Wireless Settings Go to Interface -> Wireless to setup the wireless parameters.
