Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter)
Any computer that uses the Router must be able to connect to it through the Ethernet port on the Router. This connection is an Ethernet connection
and therefore requires that your computer be equipped with an Ethernet port as well. Most notebook computers are now sold with an Ethernet port
already installed. Likewise, most fully assembled desktop computers come with an Ethernet NIC adapter as standard. If your computer does not have
an Ethernet port, you must install an Ethernet NIC adapter before you can use the Router. If you need to install an adapter, follow the installation
instructions that come with the Ethernet NIC adapter.
Additional Software
It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the Internet. Additional software must be installed if
you are using the device as a simple bridge. For a bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is
stored on another computer or gateway device, not in the Router itself.
If your VDSL2(ADSL/ADSL2+) service is delivered through a PPPoE or PPPoA connection, the information needed to establish and maintain the
Internet connection can be stored in the Router. In this case, it is not necessary to install software on your computer. It may however be necessary to
change some settings in the device, including account information used to identify and verify the connection.
All connections to the Internet require a unique global IP address. For bridged connections, the global IP settings must reside in a TCP/IP enabled
device on the LAN side of the bridge, such as a PC, a server, a gateway device, such as a router, or similar firewall hardware. The IP address can be
assigned in a number of ways. Your network service provider will give you instructions about any additional connection software or NIC configuration
that may be required.
