PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) Connection
PPPoE is a common type of Internet access provided by many xDSL Internet
Service Providers. It requires you to enter the
User Name
and the
Password
given by ISP for authentication and obtaining Broadband Router’s WAN IP
address. The other three optional fields might also be assigned value by user:
a. MTU
field: MTU field is used to specify the maximum transmit unit of a
packet over PPPoE link. Do not enter a number to this field unless your
Internet Service Provider request a different MTU size than the default
value (1492 bytes).
b. Idle Time
field: If the
Idle Time
is specified with non- zero number,
Broadband Router disconnects the PPPoE session after there is no data
traffic on WAN interface within the specified “I
dle Time
” minutes.
c. Auto-reconnect
field: Once there is any outgoing data traffic, the router
automatically re-establishes the PPPoE session .
If Internet access is through a PPTP, please click the selection button of the “
PPTP
”
and then click the “Next” button.
