I've bought an Edimax BR-6524K dual-WAN router, and was wondering if anyone could advise me on how to set it up with my ADSL modem router (I aim to use it in conjunction with 2 ADSL connections - the 2nd is being installed in the next few weeks).
I currently have an account with Zen Internet - wth a static IP address - and use an Origo modem router. The Edimax router seems to be geared towards non-UK markets, and does not have an option for PPoA connections, so I was wondering how I should configure the WAN port on the Edimax to work with the Origo modem router?
The available "broadband types" for the WAN ports on the Edimax are:
- Cable modem - your ISP will automatically give you an IP address
- Fixed IP xDSL - your ISP has given you an IP address already
- PPPoE - your ISP requires you to use a point-to-point protocol over ethernet connection
- PPTP - your ISP requires you to use a point-to-point tunnelling protocol connection
- L2TP - your ISP requires you to use a layer 2 tunnelling protocol connection
- Telstra Big Pond - for Australia
Presumably I can't use the Edimax to initiate the connection to Zen ADSL, so I'll need to continue to use the Origo to do this, but when I plug the Origo into the WAN port of the Edimax which of the above broadband types should I select?
