Figure 8. Connect the AP to an Ethernet wall outlet with Internet service
When you set up the AP and connect it to your modem, the following applies, depending
on the type of WAN connection your modem uses:
•
Dynamic DHCP: If the type of WAN connection is dynamic DHCP, the AP
automatically receives an IP address from your Internet service provider (ISP) and
you do not need to provide any IP address information. This type of WAN connection
is the most common.
•
PPPoE, L2TP, or PPTP, or static IP address. If the type of WAN connection is PPPoE,
L2TP, or PPTP, or your Internet connection requires a static IP address, you must
follow the prompts during the setup process and provide the required information
for the Internet connection.
Tip: If you are not sure which type of WAN connection your Internet service uses, contact
your ISP before you start the following procedure.
