DIR-100 Ethernet Broadband Router

Setup Wizard – Configure L2TP Client Connection

NOTE: The broadband device used for your Cable or ADSL network
connection must support L2TP pass-through so the VPN session can be
established.

The Router supports Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) for the Internet connection. L2TP is also used for
Virtual Private Networks (VPN). Some ISPs use L2TP to establish a client-to-server connection to their
network, and ultimately to the Internet. If your Internet connection comes through a L2TP client connection
to a server owned by your ISP, the IP settings and user account information must be pre-configured on the
remote server before network access is granted.

To configure the L2TP client connection, enter the IP and account information for the Router. Your ISP will
give this information to you if you are establishing a L2TP connection to the ISP. Click Next to continue.
