This section shows the basic setup to enter the Internet connection settings provided
by your ISP. Before proceeding with the Internet connection setup, you need to know
the setup information for your specific type of Internet connection, for example, DSL
connection or Cable connection, login name / e-mail and password, then you can
configure the gateway.
A. PPPoE Connection Setup
For DSL users, many ISPs may require you to log on with a user name (or e-mail
address) and password to gain access to the Internet. This connection type is called
Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE). PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over
Ethernet) is a specification for connecting multiple computer users on an Ethernet
local area network to a remote site through common customer premises equipment,
which is the telephone company's term for a modem and similar devices, commonly
used in dialup connections, users share a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), cable modem,
or wireless connection to the Internet. Most of the PPPoE connection is temporarily
assigning an IP address to a requesting Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
NAT router or computer from a pool of IP addresses. The temporary IP address is
called a dynamic IP address.
