1.
Select your country and language. Language choices are English, French, German, and Italian.
After you change the language, the remaining setup screens change to the language of your
choice.
2. Select No to manually configure your wireless ADSL modem router connection.
3. Click Next.
4. Manually configure the wireless ADSL modem router in the Basic Settings menu shown in
Figure 3-3.
5. Follow the instructions below according to the encapsulation method and whether your
Internet connection requires a login. The following methods are available:
• Internet Connection Requires Login and Uses PPPoE
• Internet Connection Requires Login and Uses PPPoA
• Internet Connection Does Not Require a Login
6. Usually the default ADSL Settings work fine for most ISPs and you can skip this step. If you
have any problems with your connection, check the ADSL Settings. See “ADSL Settings” on
page 3-14 for more details.
Internet Connection Requires Login and Uses PPPoE
1. If your Internet connection does require login, select Yes and fill in the settings according to
the instructions below.
Note: You will no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your computer in order to
access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your wireless ADSL modem router
automatically logs you in.
2. Choose PPPoE for the encapsulation method.
3. Enter the login name (frequently the email address your ISP provided), password, and service
name (if required).
4. If you want to change the login timeout, enter a new value in minutes. This determines how
long the wireless ADSL modem router keeps the Internet connection active after there is no
Internet activity from the LAN. Entering an Idle Timeout value of zero means never log out.
5. When a connection uses PPPoE, the IP address is normally assigned automatically. However,
the DG834PN allows this address to be set manually.
• Select “Get Automatically from ISP” if your ISP assigns your IP address.
• Select “Use Static IP Address” if your ISP gave you a statically assigned address.
