Actiontec Wireless-Ready DSL Gateway User Manual

Transparent Bridging

Select this option to use the Gateway as a transparent bridge only if directed to do

so by your ISP. This option should only be used if the Gateway is being used as a

Modem to connect one computer to the Internet via a DSL connection. When the

Gateway is being used as a transparent bridge, it does not provide any firewall

security.

Obtain an IP Address through PPPoE or PPPoA

Select this option to allow the Gateway to use the Point-to-Point over Ethernet

(PPPoE) or Point-to-Point over AT M (PPPoA) protocol.

If a User Name, Password and/or Static IP was entered during Basic Setup, it

should be displayed in the “Broadband Connection via PPPoE/PPPoA” screen. If

not, enter the information now. If the information is unavailable, contact your

Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Obtain an IP Through DHCP

Select this option to allow the modem to query the Internet Service Provider (

ISP)

and receive

IP address and routing information. Some ISPs need to authenticate

their end users with a Host Name and/or Domain Name.Ifthis is the case, check

with the

ISP for a host name and domain name and enter them in the “Broadband

Connection via DHCP” screen. If the ISP does not require these settings, leave the

text boxes blank.
