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”. 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.

your ISP.

A service name is rarely required by an ISP. If you are not sure if your ISP

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.
