Netopia 2241 - Routed DHCP Mode

Some phone companies do not use PPPoE to establish a DSL connection.  These instructions will allow you to turn off PPPoE on a Netopia 2241, but still leave the router and firewall intact.

Before you begin...

Below is a front and back view of the Netopia 2241. Be certain that the Ethernet cable, phone cable, and power cable are connected properly before continuing setup.
