the router to automatically search your Internet connection for servers and protocols. The 

connection type will be reported when an active Internet service is successfully detected by the 

router. This report is for your reference only. To make sure the connection type your ISP provides, 

please refer to the ISP. The various types of Internet connections that the router can detect are as

of these protocols, then you must configure your connection manually.
