ALTERNATE SETUP METHOD
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:
- Your ISP gave you a user name and password, which is required to
connect to the Internet;
- Your ISP gave you software such as WinPOET or Enternet300 that you
use to connect to the Internet; or
- You have to double-click on a desktop icon other than your browser to
get on the Internet�

Setting Custom Domain Name Server (DNS) Settings
A “Domain Name Server” is a server located on the Internet that
translates Universal Resource Locators (URLs) like “www�belkin�com”
into IP addresses� Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) do not require
you to enter this information into the Router� The “Automatic from ISP”
box should be checked if your ISP did not give you a specific DNS
address� If you are using a static IP connection type, then you may
need to enter a specific DNS address and secondary DNS address for
your connection to work properly� If your connection type is dynamic
or PPPoE, it is likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address�
Leave the “Automatic from ISP” box checked� To enter the DNS
address settings, uncheck the “Automatic from ISP” box and enter your
DNS entries in the spaces provided� Click “Apply Changes” to save
the settings�
