The Setup Tab - Basic Setup
The first screen that appears is the Basic Setup tab. This tab allows you to change the Router's general settings.
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 four connection types: Automatic Configuration - DHCP (the default connection type), PPPoE,
Static IP, 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 Configuration Type is set to Automatic Configuration - DHCP, and it should be kept
only if your ISP supports DHCP or you are connecting through a dynamic IP address.
