From the Password tab, shown in Figure 5-6, you can change the Router’s
Password, enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Services for systems such as
Windows XP PCs, and restore the Router’s factory default settings.
Router Password For greater security, you should set a password for the
Router. If you don’t set the password, all users on your network will be able
to access the Router using the default password admin. We recommend that
you change your password often.

DNS (Domain Name Server) IP Address Your ISP will provide you
with at least one DNS IP Address.
PPPoE
Some DSL-based ISPs
use PPPoE (Point-to-
Point Protocol over
Ethernet) to establish
communications with
an end-user. If you are
using a DSL line, check
with your ISP to see if
they use PPPoE. If they
do use PPPoE, select
this from the drop-
down menu (as shown
in Figure 5-5).
If you do enable
PPPoE, remember to
remove any existing
PPPoE applications
already on any of your
PCs.
User Name and Password Enter the User Name and Password you use
when logging onto your ISP connection.
Connect on Demand and Max Idle Time You can configure the Router
to disconnect your ISP connection after a specified period of time (Max
Idle Time). If you have been disconnected due to inactivity, Connect on
Demand enables the Router to automatically re-establish your connection as
soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. If you wish to activate
Connect on Demand, click the radio button. If you want your Internet con-
nection to remain on at all times, enter 0 in the Max Idle Time field.
Otherwise, enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before
your Internet access disconnects.
Keep Alive Option and Redial Period This option keeps you connected to
your ISP indefinitely, even when your connection sits idle. To use this
option, click the radio button next to Keep Alive. The default Redial Period
is 30 seconds.
