Follow the instructions below according to the encapsulation method and whether your
Internet connection requires a login. The following methods are available:
•
Internet Connection Requires Login and Uses PPPoE
•
Internet Connection Requires Login and Uses PPPoA
•
Internet Connection Does Not Require a Login

Usually the default ADSL Settings work fine for most ISPs and you can skip this step. If you
have any problems with your connection, check the ADSL Settings. See
“ADSL Settings“ on
page 5-4
for more details.
Internet Connection Requires Login and Uses PPPoE
1.
If your Internet connection
does
require login, select Yes and fill in the settings according to
the instructions below.
Note
: You will no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your computer in order to
access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your modem automatically logs
you in.
2.
Choose PPPoE for the encapsulation method your ISP uses.
3.
Enter the login name (frequently the email address your ISP provided), password, and service
name (if required).
4.
If you want to change the login timeout, enter a new value in minutes. This determines how
long the modem keeps the Internet connection active after there is no Internet activity from the
LAN. Entering an Idle Timeout value of zero means never log out.
5.
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.
•
Select “Get Automatically from ISP” if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address.
Your ISP will automatically assign this address.
•
Select “Use These DNS Servers” if your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses. Type
the primary and secondary addresses.

Using Modem Mode
•
Select “Get Dynamically from ISP” if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address.
Your ISP will automatically assign this address.
•
If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the modem
during login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter the IP address of your ISP’s
Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is available, enter it also.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as
www.netgear.com) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP address of
one or two DNS servers to your modem during login. If the ISP does not transfer an
address, you must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here.

Click Apply to save your settings.
6.
Click the Test button to test your Internet connection.

ADSL Settings
The default settings of your DG632 ADSL Modem Router will work fine for most ISPs. However,
some ISPs use a specific Multiplexing Method or a Virtual Circuit Number for either the Virtual
Path Identifier (VPI) or Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI).
Note:
The correct country must be selected from the Setup Wizard’s first page for the default
ADSL Settings to work.
If your ISP provided you with a specific Multiplexing Method or VPI/VCI number, then fill in the
following:
1.
Select the ADSL Settings link from the main menu.
2.
For the Multiplexing Method, select LLC-based or VC-based.
3.
Type a number between 0 and 255 for the VPI. The default is 8.
4.
Type a number between 1 and 65535 for the VCI. The default is 35.

Click Apply.
