Setting up your wireless router
Your connection type is PPPoE if:
• Your ISP gave you a user name and password, which is required to connect to the
Internet;
• Your ISP gave you software such as WinPOET or Enternet300 that you use to connect to
the Internet; or
• You have to double-click on a desktop icon other than your browser to get on the
Internet.
Enter the following:
User Name–This space is provided to type in your user name that was assigned by your ISP.
Password–Type in your password and re-type it into the Retype Password box to confirm it.
Service Name–A service name is rarely required by an ISP. If you are not sure if your ISP
requires a service name, leave this blank.
MTU–The MTU setting should never be changed unless your ISP gives you a specific MTU
setting. Making changes to the MTU setting can cause problems with your Internet
connection including disconnection from the Internet, slow Internet access, and problems
with Internet applications working properly.
Disconnect after X minutes...–This feature is used to automatically disconnect the
Router from your ISP when there is no activity for a specified period of time. For instance,
placing a check mark next to this option and entering 5 into the minute field will cause the
router to disconnect from the Internet after five minutes of no Internet activity. This option
should be used if you pay for your Internet service by the minute.
Setting Custom Domain Name Server (DNS) Settings
A Domain Name Server is a server located on the Internet that translates Universal Resource
Locators (URLs) like "www.dynex.com" into IP addresses. Many Internet Service Providers
(ISPs) do not require you to enter this information into the router. The Automatic from ISP
box should be checked if your ISP did not give you a specific DNS address. If you are using a
static IP connection type, then you may need to enter a specific DNS address and secondary
DNS address for your connection to work properly. If your connection type is dynamic or
PPPoE, it is likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address. Leave the Automatic from
ISP box checked. To enter the DNS address settings, uncheck the Automatic from ISP box
and enter your DNS entries in the spaces provided. Click Apply Changes to save the settings.
