connection, you will be prompted to check the physical connection between your router
and the cable or DSL line.

settings. The options are:
• Connections that require a login using protocols such as PPTP, Telstra Bigpond, or
PPPoE or Other broadband connections.

there is a new version of firmware available. If so, you will be prompted to upgrade your
firmware. Take advantage of this opportunity to assure that your wireless router is up to
date with the latest enhancements and features.
If you choose not to use the auto-update feature, you can check for new firmware by
