Connecting to the Internet:

WAN Setup

This router has two WAN ports that can be used to establish a connection to the

internet. The following ISP connection types are supported: DHCP, Static, PPPoE,

PPTP, L2TP, 3G Internet (via USB modem).

It is assumed that you have arranged for internet service with your Internet Service

Provider (ISP). Please contact your ISP or network administrato r for the configuration

information that will be required to setup the router.

3.1

Internet Setup Wizard

Setup > Wizard > Internet

The Internet Connection Setup Wizard is available for users new to networking. By

going through a few straightforward configuration pages you can take the information

provided by your ISP to get your WAN connection up and enable internet access for

your network.

Figure 17: Inte rne t Conne ction Se tup Wizard

You can start using the Wizard by logging in with the administrator password for the

router. Once authenticated set the time zone that you are located in, and then choose

the type of ISP connection type: DHCP, Static, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP. Depending on

the connection type a username/password may be required to register this router with

the ISP. In most cases the default settings can be used if the ISP did not specify that

parameter. The last step in the Wizard is to click the Connect button, which confirms

the settings by establishing a link with the ISP. Once connected, you can move on and

configure other features in this router.

3G Internet access with a USB modem is supported on WAN3. The Internet

Connection

Setup

Wizard assists with the primary WAN port (WA N1)

configuration only.

3.2 WAN Configuration

Setup > Internet Settings > WAN1 Setup

You must either allow the router to detect WAN connection type automatically or

configure manually the following basic settings to enable Internet connectivity:



ISP Connection type: Based on the ISP you have selected for the primary WAN

link for this router, choose Static IP address, DHCP client, Point-to-Point

Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), Point -to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), Layer

2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP). Required fields for the selected ISP type become

highlighted. Enter the following information as needed and as provided by your

ISP:



PPPoE Profile Name. This menu lists configured PPPoE profiles, particularly

useful when configuring multiple PPPoE connections (i.e. for Japan ISPs that

have multiple PPPoE support).



ISP login information. This is required for PPTP and L2TP ISPs.



User Name



Password



Secret (required for L2TP only )



MPPE Encryption: For PPTP links, your ISP may require you to enable Microsoft

Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE).



Split Tunnel (supported for PPTP and L2TP connection). This setting allows your

LAN hosts to access internet sites over this WAN link while still permitting VPN

traffic to be directed to a VPN configured on this WAN port.



If split tunnel is enabled, DSR won’t expect a default route from the ISP server.

In

such case, user has to take care of routing manually by configuring the routing from

Static Routing page.



Connectivity Type: To keep the connection always on, click Keep Connected. To

log out after the connection is idle for a period of time (useful if your ISP costs are

based on logon times), click Idle Timeout and enter the time, in minutes, to wait

before disconnecting in the Idle Time field.



My IP Address: Enter the IP address assigned to you by the ISP.



Server IP Address: Enter the IP address of the PPTP or L2TP server.

DSR-150/150N/250/

250N doesn’t have a dual WAN support.

3.2.1

WAN Port IP address

Your ISP assigns you an IP address that is either dynamic (newly generated each

time you log in) or static (permanent). The IP Address Source option allows you to

define whether the address is statically provided by the ISP or should be received

dynamically at each login. If static, enter your IP address, IPv4 subnet mask, and the

ISP gateway’s IP address.

PPTP and L2TP ISPs also can provide a static IP address

and subnet to configure, however the default is to receive that information

dynamically from the ISP.

3.2.2 WAN DNS Servers

The IP Addresses of WAN Domain Name Servers (DNS) are typically provided

dynamically from the ISP but in some cases you can define the static IP addresses of

the

DNS

servers.

DNS

servers

map

Internet

domain

names

(example:

www.google.com) to IP addresses. Click to indicate whether to get DNS server

addresses automatically from your ISP or to use ISP-specified addresses. If its

latter, enter addresses for the primary and secondary DNS servers. To avoid

connectivity problems, ensure that you enter the addresses correctly.

3.2.3 DHCP WAN

For DHCP client connections, you can choose the MAC address of the router to

register with the ISP.

In some cases you may need to clone the LAN host’s MAC

address if the ISP is registered with that LAN host.
