The following descriptions explain all of the possible fields in the Internet Setup screen. The

fields that display in this screen depend on whether an ISP login is required.

Does Your Internet connection require a login? Select either the Yes or No radio button.

These fields display when no login is required:

• Account Name (If required). Enter the account name provided by your ISP. This might

also be called the host name.

• Domain Name (If required). Enter the domain name provided by your ISP.

These fields display when your ISP requires a login:

• Internet Service Provider. PPPoE or PPPoA.

• Login. The login name provided by your ISP. This login name is often an email address.

• Password. The password that you use to log in to your ISP.

• Service Name (if Required). If your ISP provided a service name, enter it here.

• Connection Mode. Always On, Dial on Demand, or Manually Connect.

• Idle Timeout (In minutes). If you want to change the login time-out, enter a new value in

minutes. This setting determines how long the router keeps the Internet connection active

when there is no Internet activity from the LAN. A value of 0 (zero) means never log out.

Internet IP Address.

• Get Dynamically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP

automatically assigns these addresses.

• Use Static IP Address. Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and the gateway IP

address that your ISP assigned. The gateway is the ISP’s router to which your router will

connect.

Domain Name Server (DNS) Address. The DNS server is used to look up site addresses

based on their names.
