Easy Setup

This chapter describes how to define router configuration settings using the Easy Setup Wizard. These 
settings control access to the Wide Area Network (WAN) and Local Area Network (LAN). During the Easy 
Setup procedure, you will be prompted to specify configuration parameters that may require information from 
your service provider.

To access the Easy Setup Wizard, click Easy Setup in the left navigation pane of the Router Information 
window. This wizard will walk you through the configuration screens necessary to setup the router. You can 
exit the Easy Setup Wizard at anytime by clicking Cancel on the bottom of the configuration page. If the wizard 
is cancelled, no changes will be made and you will need to begin again. 

When you click Easy Setup in the left navigation 
pane of the Router Information page, the 
Untrusted Interface Configuration page is 
displayed. This page is used to enter information 
for the Untrusted (WAN-side) Ethernet Interface 
that will communicate with the Internet access 
device (broadband modem or similar).

To configure the Untrusted interface:

1. Select one of the following connection 

methods:

 if you will use the Point-to-

Point Protocol (PPP) to establish the 
connection.

 if you will establish the 

connection based on IP addressing.
