Your DG632 has the capability to act as a modem or as a simple router. This page allows you to change the Device Mode setting of your modem.
In Modem mode, the DG632 will bridge traffic between the ADSL and WAN ports. The modem will not use an IP address, except when you are accessing the Settings page. You PC will need to be set up according to instructions from your ISP.
IMPORTANT! When the DG632 is set up in modem mode, it will not assign an IP address to your PC. In order to access the Settings page it will be necessary to configure your PC with the static IP address shown in the LAN IP Setup page.
In Router mode, the DG632 will route traffic between the ADSL and WAN ports using Network Address Translation (NAT). It can also terminate PPPoE and PPPoA connections, so special software (such as WinPoET or Enternet) is not needed on your PC. When in Router mode, the DG632 can be configured to use DHCP to assign an IP address to your PC automatically.
To change the Device Mode of your DG632, select the desired mode and click Apply.
