Setup WAN
A correct WAN Setup allows you to successfully share your Internet
connection among the wired and wireless clients of the router. To do
so, you need to identify the type of broadband Internet access you are
subscribed to:
i. Cable Internet where your ISP dynamically assigns a WAN IP
address
ii. Cable Internet where your ISP provides you with a fixed WAN IP
address (or a range of fixed IP addresses)
iii. ADSL Internet that requires standard PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) for
authentication
iv. ADSL Internet that requires standard Point-to-Point Tunneling
Protocol (PPTP) for authentication.
v. ADSL Internet that requires standard Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol
(L2TP) for authentication. L2TP is an extension to the PPP protocol
that enables ISPs to operate VPNs. It is the best combination of
PPTP (from Microsoft) and L2F (from Cisco Systems). It has the
most similar parameters of the PPTP except that it does not
support the DHCP server.
