How to manually set up your Internet connection
In most cases, Cisco Connect automatically sets up your Internet connection
(see “How to start Cisco Connect” on page14). For some ISPs (Internet Service
Providers), especially those outside of the United States, you may need to
manually configure your router’s Internet connection. Your router supports six
types of Internet connections.
Basic Internet connection settings
To manually configure your router’s Internet connection:
Setup > Basic Setup
1.
Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based
utility” on page 25).
2.
Click the Setup tab, then click the Basic Setup page.

In the Internet Connection Type drop-down list, click the type of
Internet connection provided by your ISP.

IPv6 Internet connection settings
IPv6 is a new IP protocol that uses simplified packet headers and requires IPSec.
It also has improved support for mobile IP and computing devices. If your
router model supports IPv6, an IPv6 Setup page is available under the Setup tab.
NOTE
To use your router’s IPv6 Internet connection settings, IPv6 service
from your ISP (Internet service provider) is required. For more
information on this service, ask your ISP.
To manually configure your router’s IPv6 settings:
Setup > IPv6 Setup
1.
Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based
utility” on page 25).
2.
Click the Setup tab, then click the IPv6 Setup page.
3.
