WAN IP Address
Selecting WAN IP Address in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates the

of the Gateway. There are three ways to do this: Obtain an IP Address through
PPP o E , Obtain an IP Address Through DHCP , and Specify a Static IP Address.
☞
Note: Some DSL providers use PPP o E to establish communica-
tion with an end user, while others use static IP . Cable modem
providers and other types of broadband Internet connections
(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.
