• PPPoE: Common for DSL users. You will need to enter the username and password provided by your ISP.
• IP statico: Less common for home users. You will need to manually enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server information provided by your ISP.

5.2 Connessione di rete wireless

To connect wireless devices (laptops, smartphones, tablets) to your router:

1. Sul tuo dispositivo wireless, cerca le reti Wi-Fi disponibili.
2. Select the network name (SSID) of your SABRENT NT-WRLRT router. The default SSID is usually "SABRENT" or similar, as indicated in the Quick Installation Guide.
