Setting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connection Type to Dynamic IP
A dynamic connection type is the most common connection type used with cable
modems. Setting the connection type to “dynamic” in many cases is enough to
complete the connection to your ISP. Some dynamic connection types may require
a host name. You can enter your host name in the space provided if you were
assigned one. Your host name is assigned by your ISP. Some dynamic connections
may require that you clone the MAC address of the PC that was originally
connected to the modem.
Change WAN MAC Address
If your ISP requires a specific MAC address to connect to the service, you can
enter a specific MAC address or clone the current computer’s MAC address
through this link.

Setting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connection Type
to Static IP
A static IP address connection type is less common than other connection types.

and ISP gateway address. This information is available from your ISP or on the
paperwork that your ISP left with you. Type in your information, then click “Apply
Changes”

“connection OK” if your Router is set up properly.

Setting your ISP Connection Type to PPPoE
Most DSL providers use PPPoE as the connection type. If you use a DSL
modem to connect to the Internet, your ISP may use PPPoE to log you into
the service. If you have an Internet connection in your home or small office
that doesn’t require a modem, you may also use PPPoE.

Your connection type is PPPoE if:
1)
Your ISP gave you a user name and password, which is required to
connect to the Internet;
2)
Your ISP gave you software such as WinPOET or Enternet300 that you use
to connect to the Internet; or
3)
You have to double-click on a desktop icon other than your browser to
get on the Internet.

User Name
This space is provided to type in your user name that was assigned by
your ISP.
2.
Password
Type in your password and re-type it into the “Retype Password” box to
confirm it.
3.
Service Name
A service name is rarely required by an ISP. If you are not sure if your
ISP requires a service name, leave this blank.
4.
MTU
The MTU setting should never be changed unless your ISP gives you
a specific MTU setting. Making changes to the MTU setting can cause
problems with your Internet connection including disconnection
from the Internet, slow Internet access, and problems with Internet
applications working properly.
5.
Maximum Idle Time
The “Maximum Idle Time” feature is used to automatically disconnect
the Router from your ISP when there is no activity for a specified period
of time. For instance, placing a check mark next to this option and
entering “5” into the minute field will cause the Router to disconnect
from the Internet after five minutes of no Internet activity. This option
should be used if you pay for your Internet service by the minute.
