then click the Continue button:
• Local Area Network: You should select this option if your computer
is connected to a high-speed LAN.
• Cable Modem or DSL Using Static IP or DHCP: Select this option if
you connect to the Internet by cable modem or by DSL, but only
if your ISP doesn’t use the PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) protocol.
• Cable Modem or DSL Using PPPoE: If your ISP uses the PPPoE protocol,
select this option. It’s important that you make a successful
connection to the Internet with your computer connected directly
to the cable or DSL modem before attempting to configure the base
station. The AirPort Setup Assistant can then copy the PPPoE settings
from your computer to the base station so that the base station
can log on to the Internet with your user ID and password. All
the computers on your wireless network can then share the
Internet connection without needing to log on.
