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.

Host Name (1)

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”
(4). After you apply the changes, the Internet Status indicator will read
“Connected” 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.
3)
You have to double-click on a desktop icon other
than your browser to get on the Internet.

from your ISP when there is no activity for a specified period of time. For

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
