3.2.1.1 WAN Type – Wired Access 

Select 

Wired Access

 if you are connecting to your Modem using an Ethernet cable.   

 

 

Under 

WAN Settings

 select the WAN Connection Type used by your ISP. 

A.  Dynamic IP Address: Click on Dynamic IP if you are connecting to Internet 

through a cable modem. 

B.  Static IP Address: Click on Static IP Address if your ISP (Internet Service 

Provider) has provided you a set of IP addresses for your Internet connection.   

C.  PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE): Click on PPP over Ethernet if you are connecting to 

Internet through a DSL modem.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

D.  Russia PPPoE: Use Russia PPPoE if using the router in Russia. 

E.  Unifi PPPoE: For use when attempting to connect to the Unifi network. 

F.  Maxis PPPoE: For use when attempting to connect to the Maxis Network. 

G.  PPTP/Russia  PPTP:  Some  ISPs  require  the  use  of  PPTP  to  connect  to  their 

services. 

H.  L2TP: Some ISPs require the use of L2TP to connect to their services 

 

Note: For DSL users, your WAN type is either 

Dynamic IP Address

 or 

PPP over Ethernet

. If 

you are not sure which one you are using, it is suggested to select PPP over Ethernet for your 

WAN type, and if you cannot connect to the Internet with this setting, try to select Dynamic IP 

instead. Otherwise, you can call your ISP to confirm which WAN type you are using.
