Automatic Configuration - DHCP (default)
Keep the default only if your ISP supports DHCP or if you connect using a dynamic IP address.
(This option usually applies to cable connections.)
Static IP
Select if you are required to use a fixed IP address to connect to the internet.
PPPoE
Select if you have a DSL connection and your ISP uses Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
(PPPoE).
PPTP
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a service that generally applies to connections in
Europe. If your PPTP connection supports DHCP or a dynamic IP address, select Obtain on IP
Address Automatically. If you are required to use a fixed IP address to connect to the internet,
select Specify an IP Address and configure the options that appear.
L2TP
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a service that generally applies to connections in Israel.
Note-Connect on Demand or Keep Alive are options when choosing PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP.
They
let you choose whether the router connects to the internet only as needed (useful if your
ISP charges for connect time), or if the router should always be connected. Select the
appropriate option.
Bridge Mode
Bridge Mode disables all router capabilities and turns the router into an access point. The
router will cease to act as a DHCP server and its built-in firewall as well as the NAT features
will no longer be in effect.
Wireless Bridge
A wireless bridge wirelessly connects to your main router and can share the internet
connection with devices connected to the bridge's Ethernet ports.
