Configure your Router for Connection to your Internet
Service Provider (ISP)
The “Internet/WAN” tab is where you will set up your Router to connect to
your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The Router is capable of connecting
to virtually any ISP’s system provided you have correctly configured the
Router’s settings for your ISP’s connection type. Your ISP connection
settings are provided to you by your ISP. To configure the Router with the
settings that your ISP gave you, click “Connection Type”
(A)
on the left
side of the screen. Select the connection type you use. If your ISP gave
you DNS settings, clicking “DNS”
(B)
allows you to enter DNS address
entries for ISPs that require specific settings. Clicking “MAC address”
(C)
will let you clone your computer’s MAC address or type in a specific WAN
MAC address, if required by your ISP. When you have finished making
settings, the “Internet Status” indicator will read “connection OK” if your
Router is set up properly.

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.

by your ISP.

to confirm it.

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.
