WAN Connection Type Help

The Quick Setup supports three popular types of connection. To make sure the connection type your ISP provides, please refer to the ISP.

Auto Detect - If you don't know the connection type your ISP provides, use this option to allow the Quick Setup to search your Internet connection for servers and protocols and determine your ISP configuration. Make sure the cable is securely plugged into the WAN port before detection. The appropriate configuration page will be displayed when an active Internet service is successfully detected by the Device.

PPPoE - If you have applied ADSL to realize Dial-up service, you should choose this type. Under this condition, you should fill in both the User Name and Password that the ISP supplied.

Dynamic IP - When the Device connects to a DHCP server, or the ISP supplies you with DHCP connection, please choose this type. The Device will get the IP address automatically from the DHCP server or the ISP if you choose the Dynamic IP type.

Static IP - In this type, you should fill in the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS IP address manually, which are specified by your ISP.
