Step 4: Configuring your Router for Connection to your Internet Service
Provider (ISP)
The “Internet/WAN” tab is where you will set up your Router to connect to your
Internet Service Provider (ISP). The Router is capable of connecting to virtually
any ISP’s system provided you have correctly configured the Router’s settings for
your ISP’s connection type. Your ISP connection settings are provided to you by
your ISP. To configure the Router with the settings that your ISP gave you, click
“Connection Type”
(A) on the left side of the screen. Select the connection type
you use. If your ISP gave you DNS settings, clicking “DNS” (B) allows you to
enter DNS address entries for ISPs that require specific settings. Clicking “MAC
Address”
(C) will let you clone your computer’s MAC address or type in a specific
WAN MAC address, if required by your ISP. When you have finished making
settings, the “Internet Status” indicator will read “connection OK” if your Router is
set up properly.
