5 Using 'L2TP' as broadband connection type

If your ISP requires you to use L2TP (Layer

‐

2 Tunneling Protocol) to establish connection,

you can select this connection type to establish Internet connection. L2TP is another

popular connection method for xDSL and other Internet connection types, and all required

setting items are the same with PPTP connection.

Like PPTP, there are two kinds of required setting, we’ll start from ‘WAN Interface Settings’:

Please select the type of how you obtain IP address from your service provider here. You

can choose ‘Obtain an IP address automatically’ (equal to DHCP, please refer to ‘Dynamic IP’

section above), or ‘Use the following IP address’ (equal to static IP address, please refer to

‘PPPoE’ section above).

WAN interface settings must be correctly set, or the Internet connection will fail even those

settings of L2TP settings are correct. Please contact your Internet service provider if you

don’t know what you should fill in these fields.

Now please go to L2TP settings section:

Here are descriptions of every setup item:

Please input user ID (user name) assigned by

your Internet service provider here.

Password

Internet service provider here.

L2TP Gateway

MTU

Please input the MTU value of your network

Connection Type

Please select the connection type of Internet

do not disconnect.

’Connect on Demand’ - only connects to

Internet when there’s a connect attempt,

Manual - only connects to Internet when

‘Connect’ button on this page is pressed, and

disconnects when ‘Disconnect button is

pressed.

Please specify the time to shutdown internet

connect after no internet activity is detected in

minute(s). This option is only available when

If you wish to select another connection type as broadband connection type, click ‘Back’; or

you can click ‘OK’ to finish with quick setup. You’ll see the following message:

Please click ‘Apply’ to save changes you made and restart the broadband router, this

requires about 30 seconds and the broadband router will stop responding (this is normal

and is not malfunction). You can reconnect to this broadband router and continue on other
