settings and make sure they are correct.
Create a New Connection
An alternative method of changing the connection type used by the Router is to create a new connection.
Creating a new connection will not change the Connection 1 settings, it will make a new set of coneciton
configuration settings. The new set created will be labeled Connection 2, additional connections created will be
likewise labeled Connection 3, Connection 4 and so on. Use the method described here to create up to 8 different
connection configuration sets. At any time you may reconfigure the settings for any previously created
connection by clicking on the menu button for the connection displayed under the WAN Setup heading.
Note
Use the New Connection procedure to create new connection used for accounts that
supports multiple virtual connections. For more information on creating and maintaining
virtual connection, see Multiple Virtual Connections in the following chapter on
Advanced Router Management.
