4. C ONNECT TO THE I NTERNET
The router is now properly attached to your network. You are now ready to configure your
router to connect to the Internet. There are two ways you can configure your router to connect
to the Internet:
a. Let the DG834 auto-detect the type of Internet connection you have and configure it. See
“Auto-Detecting Your Internet Connection Type” on page 3-9 for instructions.
b. Manually choose which type of Internet connection you have and configure it. See
“Manually Configuring Your Internet Connection” on page 3-14 for instructions.
These options are described below. In either case, unless your ISP automatically assigns your
configuration automatically via DHCP, you need the configuration parameters from your ISP you
recorded in
“Record Your Internet Connection Information” on page 3-3 .
Auto-Detecting Your Internet Connection Type
The Web Configuration Manager built in to the router contains a Setup Wizard that can
automatically determine your network connection type.
1. If your router has not yet been configured, the Setup Wizard shown in Figure 3-9 should
launch automatically.
