The username and password apply to PPPoE and PPTP encapsulation only. Make
sure that you have entered the correct Service Type, User Name and Password (be
sure to use the correct casing). Refer to the WAN Screens chapter (web configurator)
or the Internet Access chapter (SMT).
Clone the MAC address from your computer on the LAN as the ZyAIR’s WAN MAC
