APPENDIX A: FAQ
1. How do I configure the router to access Internet by ADSL users?
1) First, configure the ADSL modem configured in RFC1483 bridge model.
2) Connect the Ethernet cable from your ADSL modem to the WAN port on the router. The telephone
cord plugs into the Line port of the ADSL modem.
3) Login to the router, click the “Network” menu on the left of your browser, and click “WAN” submenu.
On the WAN page, select “PPPoE” for WAN Connection Type. Type user name in the “User Name” field
and password in the “Password” field, finish by clicking “Connect”.

4) If your ADSL lease is in “pay-according-time” mode, select “Connect on Demand” or “Connect
Manually” for Internet connection mode. Type an appropriate number for “Max Idle Time” to avoid
wasting paid time. Otherwise, you can select “Auto-connecting” for Internet connection mode.

Internet continually in the background.
