PPP Connections
Although the connection methods differ significantly, from the viewpoint of the ADSL subscriber, there is little
difference between the two variations of PPP connections. The information entered for PPPoE connections is the
same as that used for PPPoA connections.
Once you have changed the connection method to PPPoE, saved the configuration change and restarted the
device, you can proceed to enter authentication information used to connect to the WAN. Follow these steps:
