2.6 PPPoE Connection Detected
If you have a connection type that requires a user name and a password, the
Wizard will ask you to type in your user name and password. If your connection
type does not require a user name and password, you will not see this screen.
Your user name and password is provided to you by your Internet Service
Provider. If you have to type in a user name and password to connect to the
Internet, then type that same user name and password in here. Your user name
name is optional and is very rarely required by your ISP. If you don’t know your
service name, leave this blank. When you have entered your information, click
“Next” to move on.
Step 3: Connect the Router to your Modem and Computer
The Wizard will ask you to connect your Router. Follow the steps on the screen,
or do the following:
3.1 Turn off the power to your modem by unplugging the power supply from
the modem.
3.2 Locate the network cable that is connected between your modem and your
computer and unplug it from your computer, leaving the other end
connected to your modem.
3.3 Plug the loose end of the cable you just unplugged into the port on the back
of the Router labeled “Internet/WAN”.
