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