Internet Access Setup
3.1 Introduction
The router connects the group of PCs in your home or office to the Internet.
The data that travels between two networks is regulated by the router.
The Network Address Translation (NAT) of the router translates a public IP
address for the Internet to several private IP addresses of a local area
network.
IP means Internet Protocol. Every device in an IP-based Network,
including routers, print server, and PCs needs an IP address to identify its
location on the network. The PPPoE, Dynamic/Static IP and PPTP are
three major ways of assigning IP addresses for the Internet to your router.
Setup screen and available features differ relying on what kind of
connection type your ISP offers.
The router supports the Ethernet WAN interface for Internet access. The
following sections will explain more details of various broadband access
setup.
Once you already access Internet via the procedure of “Chapter 1
Quick Start Wizard”, you do not need to re-set your settings for
Internet connection unless you would like to change your
configuration.
