Specify an Internet Connection That Uses a Login and PPTP
or L2TP Service
You can manually specify the connection settings for a PPTP or L2TP Internet service for which you must
log in. Use the information that your ISP gave you to connect to your Internet service. If you cannot find this
information, contact your ISP. Entering incorrect information might prevent the router from connecting to
the Internet.
To specify the connection settings for a PPTP or L2TP Internet service for which you must
log in:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin.The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select Internet.
The Internet Setup page displays.
5. Select the Does your Internet connection require a login? Yes radio button.
The page adjusts.
6. From the Internet Service Provider menu, select PPTP or L2TP as the encapsulation method.
7. In the Login field, enter the login name that your ISP gave you.
This login name is often an email address.
8. In the Password field, type the password that you use to log in to your Internet service.
9. From the Connection Mode menu, select Always On, Dial on Demand, or Manually Connect.
10. To change the number of minutes until the Internet login times out, in the Idle Timeout (In minutes)
field, type the number of minutes.
This is how long the router keeps the Internet connection active when no one on the network is using
the Internet connection. A value of 0 (zero) means never log out.
11. If your ISP gave you fixed IP addresses and a connection ID or name, type them in the My IP Address,
Subnet Mask, Server Address, Gateway IP Address, and Connection ID/Name fields.
