WAN IP Address
Selecting WAN IP Address in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen gen-
erates the “ WAN IP Address” screen. WAN IP Address allows manual set up of the
IP address of the Router. There are three ways to do this: Obtain an IP Address
through PPP o E , Obtain an IP Address through DHCP , or Specify a Static
IP Address.
☞
Note: Some DSL providers use PPP o E to establish communica-
tion with an end user. Other types of broadband Internet con-
nections (such as fixed point wireless) may use either
DHCP or
Static IP address. If unsure about which connection is present,
check with the ISP before continuing.
After selecting a connection type, click Next to continue configuring the connection.
Obtain an IP Address through PPPoE
Select this option to allow the Router to use the Point-to-Point over Ethernet
(
PPPoE ) protocol.
