• Internet Service Provider. This drop-down list contains a few ISPs that need special
protocols for connection. Not all ISPs are listed here. The ones on this list have special

– Telstra Bigpond, an Australian residential cable modem service
– Other, which selects PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet), the protocol used by
most DSL services worldwide.
• Login and Password. This is the user name and password provided by your ISP. This name
and password are used to log in to the ISP server.
– Service Name. If your connection is capable of connecting to multiple Internet services,
this setting specifies which service to use.
– Connection Mode. This drop-down list selects when the router will connect to and
disconnect from the Internet. The list includes:

Note: The Telstra Bigpond setting is only for older cable modem service
accounts still requiring a Bigpond login utility. Telstra has
discontinued this type of account. Those with Telstra DSL accounts
and newer cable modem accounts should select No for Does Your
Internet Connection Require a Login.
