The MERCUSYS VDSL/ADSL modem router is compatible with VDSL, ADSL, and Ethernet WAN connections. Here, we will guide you to set up the modem router. 

 

Before you start

Make sure your internet service from your internet service provider (ISP) is available, and have your internet information ready.

Here is a quick guide to the most common internet connection types:

  • Dynamic IP: Used by most cable Internet users. If your ISP does not provide login credentials, this is likely your connection type.
  • PPPoE: Common for DSL users. Requires a username and password provided by your ISP.
  • Static IP: Your ISP provides a fixed IP address and related settings.

Please ensure you have obtained the correct internet connection type from your ISP before configuration. If there is any problem, please contact your ISP.
