Internet Setup Screen Fields

The following descriptions explain all of the possible fields in the Internet Setup screen. The

fields that display in this screen depend on whether an ISP login is required.

•

Does Your ISP Require a Login?

Answer either yes or no.

•

The following fields display when no login is required:

•

Account Name (if required)

. Enter the account name that your ISP provided. It

might also be called the host name.

•

Domain Name (if required)

. Enter the domain name that your ISP provided.

•

The following fields display when your ISP requires a login:

•

Internet Service Provider Encapsulation

. ISP types. The choices are PPPoE,

PPTP, or L2TP.

•

Login

. The login name provided by your ISP. It is often an email address.

•

Password

. The password that you use to log in to your ISP.

•

Idle Timeout (In minutes)

. If you want to change the login timeout, enter a new

value in minutes. This setting determines how long the router keeps the Internet

connection active after there is no Internet activity from the LAN. Entering a value

of 0 (zero) means never log out.

•

Internet IP Address

. Choose one of these options:

•

Get Dynamically from ISP

. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP

automatically assigns these addresses.

•

Use Static IP Address

. Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and the gateway IP

address that your ISP assigned. The gateway is the ISP’s router to which your router

will connect.

•

Domain Name Server (DNS) Address

. The DNS server is used to look up site

addresses based on their names.

•

Get Automatically from ISP

. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your

ISP automatically assigns this address.

•

Use These DNS Servers

. If you know that your ISP requires specific servers, select

this option. Enter the IP address of your ISP’s primary DNS server. If a secondary

DNS server address is available, enter it also.

•

Router MAC Address

. The Ethernet MAC address that the router uses on its Internet

port. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the network interface card in your computer

when your account is first opened. They accept traffic only from the MAC address of that

computer. This feature allows your router to use your computer’s MAC address (this

feature is also called cloning). Choose one of these options:

•

Use Default Address

. Use the default MAC address.

•

Use Computer MAC Address

. The router captures and uses the MAC address of

the computer that you are now using. You must use the one computer that is

allowed by the ISP.

•

Use This MAC Address

. Enter the MAC address that you want to use.

Basic Wireless Settings

The Wireless Settings screen lets you view or configure the wireless network setup.

The N150 4-Port Wireless Router comes with preset security. This means that the Wi-Fi

network name (SSID), network key (password), and security option (encryption protocol) are

preset in the factory. You can find the preset SSID and password on the bottom of the unit.

Note:

The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every

device to protect and maximize your wireless security.

If you change your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in a

safe place where you can easily find it.

If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or other wireless

security settings, you are disconnected when you click Apply. To avoid this problem, use a

computer with a wired connection to access the router.
