Wireless-G VPN Router with RangeBooster
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.
Static IP
If you are required to use a permanent IP address to connect to the Internet, then select Static IP.
IP Address. This is the Router's IP address, when seen from the WAN, or the Internet. Your ISP will provide
you with the IP Address you need to specify here.
Subnet Mask. This is the Router's Subnet Mask, as seen by external users on the Internet (including your
ISP). Your ISP will provide you with the Subnet Mask.
Default Gateway. Your ISP will provide you with the Default Gateway Address, which is the ISP server's IP
address.
Primary DNS (Required) and Secondary DNS (Optional). Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS
(Domain Name System) Server IP Address.
When you have finished making changes to the screen, click the Save Settings button to save the changes,
or click the Cancel Changes button to undo your changes.
PPPoE
Some DSL-based ISPs use PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) to establish Internet connections. If
you are connected to the Internet through a DSL line, check with your ISP to see if they use PPPoE. If they do,
you will have to enable PPPoE.
