Appendix A

Cable or DSL Connection

This User Guide covers most cable and DSL installations that are configured for Dynamic or Static IP addressing. This guide assumes that you have active and properly functioning cable or DSL Internet service.

Note: DSL users, if you use a login application to access the Internet, you are more than likely using a PPPoE connection. Refer to the appropriate section in this User Guide for information on collecting your configuration information. If you use Dial-Up Networking and a VPN adapter, you are most likely using a PPTP connection. Refer to the appropriate section of this User Guide for information on collecting your configuration information. If you are unsure about what type of connection you are using, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Note: Your cable or DSL modem must be connected to your computer via an RJ-45 Ethernet connection. The 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router is not compatible with cable or DSL modems with only a USB connection. You must have an Ethernet adapter (NIC) or 802.11b wireless adapter installed in your computer.

You need to gather the following information about your computer. Contact your ISP for assistance in obtaining this information.

Note: Not all of this information may be required for the installation of the 22 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router. If your ISP cannot provide you with this information, the following basic steps will assist you in gathering most of the required information.
