• The Internet Service Provider (ISP) configuration information for your ADSL account.
– ISP login name and password
– ISP Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses
– Fixed or static IP address
– Host and domain names
• Depending on how your ISP set up your Internet account, you need to know one or more of
these settings:
– Virtual path identifier (VPI) and Virtual channel identifier (VCI) parameters
– Multiplexing method
– Host and domain names
• ASDL microfilters as explained in the ADSL2+ Modem Router Setup Manual.
• Your computer must be set up to use DHCP to get its TCP/IP configuration from a router. This
is usually the case. For help with DHCP, see the documentation that came with your computer,
or see the link to the online document in
Your ISP should have provided you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet. If
you cannot locate this information, you can ask your ISP to provide it.

wizard and enter settings in the Quick Setup screens.
