Setting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connection Type to Dynamic IP
A dynamic connection type is the most common connection type used
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.
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.

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; or
3)
You have to double-click on a desktop icon other than your browser
to get on the Internet.

1.
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 re-type 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.
Maximum Idle Time
The “Maximum Idle Time” 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.
