Step 1:
First, configure the ADSL modem in RFC1483 bridge model.
Step 2:
Connect the Ethernet cable from your ADSL modem to the WAN port on the router. The
telephone cord plugs into the Line port of the ADSL modem.
Step 3:
Login to the router, click the menu
Network
→
WAN
on the left of your browser. On the
WAN screen, select “
PPPoE
” for the type of WAN connection. Then enter the user name
and password in the corresponding field, and finish it by clicking
Connect
.

If your ADSL lease is in “
pay-according-time
” mode, select “
Connect on Demand
” or
“
connect Manually
” or “
Time-based Connecting
” for Internet connection mode. Type
an appropriate number for “

Note:
1) Sometimes the connection can not be disconnected although you specify a time to Max
Idle Time, because some applications still visit the Internet continually in the background.
2) If you are a Cable user, please configure the router following the above steps.
