The router is now properly attached to your network. You are now ready to configure your
router to connect to the Internet. There are two ways you can configure your router to connect
to the Internet:
a.
Let the DG834 auto-detect the type of Internet connection you have and configure it.
b.
Manually choose which type of Internet connection you have and configure it.
These options are described below. In either case, unless your ISP automatically assigns
your configuration automatically via DHCP, you need the configuration parameters from
your ISP you recorded in
“Record Your Internet Connection Information” on page 3-4
.
Auto-Detecting Your Internet Connection Type
The Web Configuration Manager built in to the router contains a Setup Wizard that can
automatically determine your network connection type.
1.
If your router has not yet been configured, the Setup Wizard shown in
Figure 3-9
should
launch automatically.
Note:
If instead of the Setup Wizard menu, the main menu of the router’s Configuration
Manager as shown in
Figure 3-15
appears, click the Setup Wizard link in the upper left to
bring up this menu.
2.
You must select a 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.
3.
Select Yes to allow the router to automatically determine your connection.
4.
Click Next.
The Setup Wizard will now check for the following connection types:
•
Dynamic IP assignment
•
A login protocol such as PPPoE or PPPoA
•
Classical IP over ATM (RFC1577)
•
Fixed IP address assignment
Next, the Setup Wizard will report which connection type it has discovered, and then display
the appropriate configuration page. If the Setup Wizard finds no connection, you will be
prompted to check the physical connection between your router and the ADSL line. When the
connection is properly made, the router’s Internet LED should be on.
