Internet Connection Type
The Router supports four connection types: Automatic Configuration (DHCP), Static IP, PPPoE, 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 Internet Connection Type is set to Automatic Configuration (DHCP), and it should be
used only if your ISP supports DHCP or you are connecting through a dynamic IP address.
