The Router supports three popular ways PPPoE, Dynamic IP and Static IP to connect to the Internet. To make sure the connection type your ISP provides, please refer to the ISP. Make sure the cable is securely plugged into the WAN port before detection.
¾Auto Detect - If you don't know the connection type your ISP provides, use this option to allow the Quick Setup to search your Internet connection for servers and protocols and determine your ISP configuration.
¾PPPoE - For this connection, you will need your account name and password from your ISP.
If you have applied ADSL to realize Dial-up service, you should choose this type. Under this condition, you should fill in both the User Name and Password that the ISP supplied. Please note that these fields are case-sensitive.
Figure 3-7 Quick Setup - PPPoE
¾Dynamic IP - Your ISP uses a DHCP service to assign your Router an IP address for connecting to the Internet. When the Router connects to a DHCP server, or the ISP supplies you with DHCP connection, please choose this type. If you choose this type of connection, no configuration should be set and you can go on with the wireless configuration in Figure 3-9.
¾Static IP - This type of connection uses a permanent, fixed (static) IP address that your ISP assigned. In this type, you should fill in the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS IP address manually, which are specified by your ISP. Then click Next and proceed to Figure 3-9.

The default SSID is set to be TP-LINK_XXXXXX (XXXXXX indicates the last unique six numbers of each Router’s MAC address). But it is recommended strongly that you change your networks name (SSID) to a different value. This value is case-sensitive. For example, TEST is NOT the same as test.
¾Region - Select your region from the pull-down list. This field specifies the region where the wireless function of the Router can be used. It may be illegal to use the wireless function of the Router in a region other than one of those specified in this field. If your country or region is not listed, please contact your local government agency for assistance.
