WAN for PPPoE Screen
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) emulates a dial-up connection. It allows
an ISP to use their existing network configuration with newer broadband technologies
such as ADSL. The PPPoE driver on the FSG1100HN is transparent to the computers
on the LAN, which see only Ethernet and are not aware of PPPoE thus saving users
the need to manage PPPoE clients on individual computers.
