assigned to you by your ISP or you may have selected it when you set up the account with your
ISP.

to change this (see table below).

connection will use Dynamic IP assignment from the ISP. Some accounts may be assigned a
specific global IP address.

on demand. Most users will want to choose the default connection setting, Always on.

effect. To save and reboot the Router, click on the Tools directory tab and then click the

Local Hard Drive and then click the Reboot button under Reboot the CONCEPTRONIC

PPPoE/PPPoA Parameters Description
User Name For PPP connections, a User Name and Password are used to identify
and verify your account to the ISP. Enter the User Name for your ADSL
service account. User names and passwords are case-sensitive, so
enter this information exactly as given to you by your ISP.
Password Together with the User Name, this is used to verify your account to
the ISP. Enter the Password exactly as given to you by your ISP.
MTU The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to
optimize efficiency for uploading data through the WAN interface. The
default setting (1492 bytes) should be suitable for most users. Some
user may want to adjust the setting to optimize performance for
wireless traffic or when low latency is desired (such as with Internet
gaming). It is highly recommended that the user research how
adjusting the MTU may affect network traffic for better or worse.
