Setup WAN for ADSL Internet Using PPPoE
If you subscribe to an ADSL service using PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) authentication,
you can set up your router’s WAN type as follows. For example, you may configure
an account whose username is ‘guest’ as described below:
1. Under the CONFIGURATION on the
command menu, click on WAN
Setup.
2. Access the Select WAN Type page
and choose PPP over Ethernet before
clicking the Apply button. You will
then be brought to the following
page requiring your inputs.
3. For Username, key in your ISP
assigned account name (e.g.
guest for this example), followed
by your account Password.
4. Select Always-On if you want your
router to always maintain a
connection with the ISP. Otherwise,
you may select On-Demand. The
router will then connect to the ISP
automatically when it receives
Internet requests from the PCs in
your network.
The Idle Timeout setting is associated with the On-Demand option, allowing you to
specify the value (in seconds) after which the router will disconnect from the ISP
after the last Internet activity. A value of “0” will disable idle timeout. Reconnect
Time Factor is associated with the Always-on option and specifies the maximum
time the router will wait before re-attempting to connect with your ISP. Hit the Apply
button and Reboot the router.
