Subscription for ADSL Service

To use the ADSL Router, you have to subscribe for ADSL service from your broadband service

provider. According to the service type you subscribe, you will get various IP addresses:

Dynamic IP:

If you apply for dial-up connection, you will be given an Internet account with

username and password. You will get a dynamic IP by dialing up to your ISP.

Static IP address:

If you apply for full-time connectivity, you may get either one static IP address

or a range of IP addresses from your ISP. The number of IP addresses varies according to different

ADSL service provider.
