Connecting the wireless router
Chapter 3 Getting to know your Internet
connection type
The router supports following connection types: Automatic IP, Static IP, PPPOE,
PPTP, and Bigpond
By default, the Router’s Internet Connection Type is set to Automatic IP, which
should be kept only if your ISP (Internet Service Provider) supports DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) or you are connecting through a dynamic
IP address.
If your ISP has assigned you a permanent, fixed (static) IP address for your
1
computer, select “Static IP”. In this type, you should have a static IP address from
your ISP, and Subnet mask, Gateway IP address are necessary.
Most of DSL-based ISPs use PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) to
establish Internet connections, select “PPPOE”. If you are connected to the
Internet through a DSL line, check with your ISP to see if they use PPPoE. In this
type, you should have Username and Password from your ISP.
Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), is a service that usually applies to
connections in some European countries only. In this type, you should have IP
address, Subnet mask, Default Gateway, Username and Password from your ISP.
BigPond is a service used in Australia only. If you are using a Bigpond
connection, check with your ISP for the necessary setup information.
