The Setup Tab
The Basic Setup Tab
The first screen that appears is the Basic Setup tab. (See Figure 6-2.) This tab allows you to change the Router's
general settings. Change these settings as described here and click the Save Settings button to save your
changes or Cancel Changes to cancel your changes.
Internet Setup
• Internet Connection Type. The Router supports four connection types: Automatic Configuration - DHCP (the
default connection type), PPPoE, Static IP, and PPTP. Each Basic Setup screen and available features will
differ depending on what kind of connection type you select.
Automatic Configuration - DHCP
By default, the Router’s Configuration Type is set to Automatic Configuration - DHCP, and it should be kept
only if your ISP supports DHCP or you are connecting through a dynamic IP address.
