 Note:

If you don't know how to choose the appropriate connection type, click the Detect button to allow the router to automatically search your Internet connection for servers and protocols. The connection type will be reported when an active Internet service is successfully detected by the router. This report is for your reference only. To make sure the connection type your ISP provides, please refer to the ISP. The various types of Internet connections that the router can detect are as follows:

PPPoE - Connections which use PPPoE that requires a user name and password.

Dynamic IP - Connections which use dynamic IP address assignment.

Static IP - Connections which use static IP address assignment.

The router cannot detect PPTP and L2TP connections with your ISP. If your ISP uses one of these protocols, then you must configure your connection manually.
