4.4 PPPoE Configuration
PPPoE (Point-to-Point over Ethernet) is a network protocol which encapsulates PPPoE
frames into Ethernet frames. The router uses the PPPoE client to connect to devices support-
ing a PPPoE bridge or ser ver. The bridge or server is typically an ADSL router.
To open the PPPoE Configuration page, select the PPPoE menu item. If you mark the
Create PPPoE connection check box, then the router attempts to establish a PPPoE connec-
tion after boot up. After connecting, the router obtains the IP address of the device to which
it is connected. The communications from a device behind the PPPoE server is forwarded to
the router.
