PPPoE
If your ISP uses the Point-to-Point over Ethernet (PPPoE) protocol to connect you to the
Internet, you will be required to fill in the information below.
When you are satisfied with your IP address settings, click the OK button.
Congratulations! You have completed the basic router configuration required for a
PPPoE connection.
Parameter Description
User Name
Enter your user name.
Password
Enter your password.
Service Name
Enter the service name (if required).
MTU
As an option, you can specify the maximum size of your
transmission packet to the Internet. Leave this field blank if
you do not wish to set a maximum packet size.
Connection Type Continuous: The router will always connect to the ISP. If the
WAN line breaks down and links again, the router will
automatically reconnect to the ISP.
Connect on Demand: The router will auto-connect to the ISP
when someone wants to use the Internet. The router will
close the connection if the period of inactivity lasts longer
than the specified Idle Time (see below).
Manual: The router will connect to the ISP only when you
click the Connect button on the web user interface. To end the
connection, click Disconnect. In this mode, Idle Time will not
affect the connection, nor will the router re-connect to the ISP
in case of a WAN line break.
Idle Time
You can specify the idle time threshold (in minutes) for your
WAN port. If the time period expires with no Internet activity,
the router will automatically disconnect you from your ISP.
