(Most routers contain the address of the configuration interface and the initial login with a password to enter the configuration interface on the back of the router, there is also the network name and PSK for connecting to the router via Wi-Fi).
4. Most routers have an initial setup wizard (hereinafter referred to as the wizard), which either starts automatically, or the link to start it is among the first items of the router menu. Run the Quick Start Wizard.
1. If the wizard asks about the router operating mode (master or slave, it can be transparent, or switch or repeater mode), select the main one.
2. When asked about the method (protocol) of connecting to the Internet provider (ISP), you must select the PPPoE protocol (if there are many options with the PPPoE protocol, choose dynamic PPPoE (with DHCP and a single connection).
