Setting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connection
Type to Dynamic IP
A dynamic connection type is the most common connection type found 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.
1.
Host Name
This space is provided to enter a host name that needs to be
visible to your ISP. Enter your host name here and click “Apply
Changes”
(3)
. If your ISP did not assign you a host name, or you
are not sure, leave this blank.
2.
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. If your ISP uses static IP addressing, you will
need your IP address, subnet mask, 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”
(5)
. After you apply the changes, the Internet Status indicator will
read “connection OK” if your Router is set up properly.
1.
IP Address
Provided by your ISP. Enter your IP address here.
2.
Subnet Mask
Provided by your ISP. Enter your subnet mask here.
3.
ISP Gateway Address
Provided by your ISP. Enter the ISP gateway address here.
4.
My ISP Provides More Than One Static IP Address
If your ISP assigns you more than one static IP address, your
Router is capable of handling up to five static WAN IP addresses.
Select “My ISP provides more than one static IP address” and
enter your additional addresses.

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:
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.
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 retype 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.
Disconnect after X...
The “Disconnect” 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.
