The Setup Tab - Basic Setup
The Basic Setup screen is the first screen you see when you access the Web-based Utility.
Internet Setup
The Internet Setup section configures the Router for your Internet connection type. This information can be
obtained from your ISP.
Internet Connection Type
The Router supports six connection types: Obtain an IP automatically (DHCP), Static IP, PPPoE, RAS, PPTP, and
Heart Beat Signal. Each Basic Setup screen and available features will differ depending on what kind of
connection type you select.
Obtain an IP automatically
By default, the Router’s Internet Connection Type is set to Obtain an IP automatically, and it should be used
only if your ISP supports DHCP or you are connecting through a dynamic IP address.
