CONFIGURATION: WAN Setup
A correct WAN Setup allows you to successfully share your Internet connection among
the wired and wireless clients of the router. To do so, you need to identify the type of
broadband Internet access you are subscribed to. If you are using:
i.
Cable Internet where your ISP dynamically assigns a WAN IP address to you,
refer to WAN Setup - Cable Internet with Dynamic IP Assignment.
ii.
Cable Internet where your ISP provides you with a fixed WAN IP address (or
a range of fixed IP addresses), refer to WAN Setup - Cable Internet with Static IP
Assignment.
iii.
ADSL Internet that requires standard PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) for
authentication, refer to WAN Setup - ADSL Internet using PPP over Ethernet
(PPPoE).
iv.
ADSL Internet that requires standard Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
for authentication, refer to WAN Setup – ADSL Internet using Point-to-Point
Tunneling Protocol (PPTP).
v.
ADSL Internet that requires standard Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) for
authentication, refer to WAN Setup – ADSL Internet using Layer 2 Tunneling
Protocol (L2TP). L2TP is an extension to the PPP protocol that enables ISPs to
operate VPNs. It is the best combination of PPTP (from Microsoft) and L2F (from
Cisco Systems). It has the most similar parameters of the PPTP except it does not
support the DHCP server.
