Sharing the Internet via the router
This chapter explains how you can share your Internet connection via network
cables and a wireless connection.
Particularly for an ADSL connection, there are many options which must be
reconfigured. Read the various settings and click on them to compare them to the
settings for your Internet Service Provider. Once you have found the correct settings,
follow the instructions given under the settings concerned.
Note:
If your ISP requires a VPN dial-up connection (PPTP service), the
current version of your router is unsuitable. Go to
www.trust.com/13597
to see whether a firmware update is available
for your router. Or contact your ISP to see whether another service is
available.
