Encapsulation

The PPP over Ethernet choice is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE. The 

Prestige supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an 

IETF standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with 

a broadband modem (i.e. xDSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. Operationally, 

PPPoE saves significant effort for both the end user and ISP/carrier, as it requires 

no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site. By 

implementing PPPoE directly on the router rather than individual computers, the 

computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the router does 

that part of the task. Further, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have access.

Service Name

Type the PPPoE service name provided to you. PPPoE uses a service name to 

identify and reach the PPPoE server.

User Name

Type the User Name given to you by your ISP.  

Password

Type the password associated with the User Name above.

Retype to Confirm Type your password again to make sure that you have entered is correctly. 

Nailed-Up 

Connection

Select Nailed-Up Connection if you do not want the connection to time out.
