2-4-5 Using L2TP xDSL as broadband connection type 
 
If your ISP requires you to use L2TP (Layer-2 Tunneling Protocol) to 
establish connection, you can select this connection type to establish 
Internet connection. L2TP is another popular connection method for 
xDSL and other Internet connection types, and all required setting items 
are the same with PPTP connection. 
 
Like PPTP, there are two kinds of required setting, we’ll start from ‘WAN 
Interface Settings’: 
 
 
 
Please select the type of how you obtain IP address from your service 
provider here. You can choose ‘Obtain an IP address automatically’ (equal 
to DHCP, please refer to ‘Cable Modem’ section above), or ‘Use the 
following IP address’ (equal to static IP address, please refer to ‘PPPoE 
xDSL’ section above).   
 
WAN interface settings must be correctly set, or the Internet connection 
will fail even those settings of L2TP settings are correct. Please contact 
your Internet service provider if you don’t know what you should fill in 
these fields. 
 
Now please go to L2TP settings section:
