7.1.1 Connecting to the Internet via Routed IP Protocol
If Automatic WAN Protocol Detection finds that your ISP’s server is DHCP, the ISP’s DHCP server will send your
modem a WAN IP address. A WAN IP address indicates that you have established a connection with your ISP.
Routed IP allows you to connect to your ISP equipment without first having to identify yourself (authenticate) with
your ISP. Once your modem has obtained a WAN IP address, you do not need to configure any additional settings
Congratulations! You have completed the modem’s Automatic WAN Protocol Detection process. Now, go to
section 7.4, “Confirming Your Internet Connection,” to confirm your Internet connection.
7.1.2 Connecting to the Internet via PPPoE Protocol
Some ISPs require that you identify yourself using PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) authentication before obtaining an
Internet connection. To connect to the Internet for the first time via PPP, go to one of the following sections:
• Section 7.2, “Configuring Your Internet Connection Using the Installation Wizard,” for details on
connecting to the Internet using the modem’s built-in Installation Wizard. Use this method for simple, less-
detailed configuration process.
• Section 7.3, “Configuring Your Internet Connection Manually,” for details on connecting to the Internet
using a manually set up connection. Use this method for a more detailed configuration process.
