2. INTERNET
There are total 2 types of connection method that you can use to access
the Internet: Cable and Repeater.
For Mesh Network, you could ONLY use Cable to connect the internet.
We recommend that you set up the internet by our Mobile App
(https://www.gl-inet.com/app/) .
You could also setup it through the Admin Panel, the instruction is as
below.
Click INTERNET to create an Internet connection.

Page 3 | 147
2.1) Cable
Connect the router to the modem or main router via Ethernet cable to
access the Internet.
Before plugging the Ethernet cable into the WAN port of the router, you can
click Use as LAN to set the WAN port as a LAN port. That is useful when
you are using the router as a repeater. As a result, you can have one more
LAN port.
Plug the Ethernet cable into the WAN port of the router. The information of
your connection will be shown on the Cable section. DHCP is the default
protocol. You can click Modify to change the protocol.

DHCP
DHCP is the default and most common protocol. It doesn't require any
manual configuration.
Static
Static is required if your Internet Service Provider (ISP) has provided a fixed
IP address for you or you want to configure the network information such
as IP address, Gateway, Netmask manually.
The current settings will be automatically filled once you choose Static.
Change it according to your needs and then click Apply.

PPPoE
PPPoE is required by many Internet Service Providers (ISP). Generally, your
ISP will give you a modem and provide you a username & password that
you needed when you are creating the Internet connection.
Under PPPoE protocol, enter your username and password, then
click Apply.
2.2) Repeater
Using Repeater means connecting the router to another existing wireless
network, e.g. when you are using free Wi-Fi in a hotel or cafe.
