I've running a home ADSL router.
What I need to know is what are does all the the various setting mean?
I know that there's are hundred's of routers out there, so one can not give specifics. But anything would help with this problem.

Example: "VPI/VCI" settings
"ATM/VCI pool" what are these setting there
"LLC" setting's.

There's obvisouly quite a few more, but these are the main one's.

VPI/VCI are path and channel id's. They are used in configuring a path/channel for your access.

Use Google, Yahoo, etc. Start there, and find these answers, politely and bluntly, there's no reason to waste time asking this question here when the answers are freely available on the net.

Additionally, these settings can be specific to your connection so you don't want to mess with them without knowing what they are currently.

I did do a goggle and yahoo search. This single reply has given me more info than several hours of googling.

I know that the settings are specific, but when there is a diffrence between 2 similar machines, one has to think else where and find out what they mean.
My ISP was not able to offer any help in this regard.
