Router can detect are as follows: 
  PPPoE - Connections which use PPPoE that requires a user name and password.   
  Dynamic IP - Connections which use dynamic IP address assignment.   
  Static IP - Connections which use static IP address assignment. 
The Router can not detect PPTP/L2TP/BigPond connections with your ISP. If your ISP uses 
one of these protocols, then you must configure your connection manually.
