2.4.3. SETUP WIZARD Step 2: Configuring TCP/IP Settings
2.4.3.1. Router with a PPPoE-Based DSL/Cable Connec-
tion
Fig. 10. TCP/IP settings for Router with a PPPoE-Based DSL/Cable Connection mode.
In this mode, two IP addresses are needed—one for the Ethernet LAN interface and the other for the
WAN interface. The LAN IP address must be set manually to a private IP address, say 192.168.0.xxx.
The default LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. In most
cases, these default settings need no change.
As for the WAN IP address, it is obtained automatically by PPPoE from the ISP. Consult your ISP for
the correct User name, Password, and Service name settings.
The Trigger mode setting specifies the way a PPPoE connection is established. Your PPPoE connec-
tion can be established and torn down manually (Manual) by clicking the Connect and Disconnect
buttons on the Start page, respectively. Or you can choose to let the device automatically (Auto) es-
tablish a PPPoE connection at boot-up time. In Auto mode, if the connection is disrupted, the device
will try to re-establish the broken connection automatically.
2.4.3.2. Router with a DHCP-Based DSL/Cable Connec-
tion
