How to configure encapsulation and bandwidth in D-link router
I am going to upgrade my Internet Leased Line Connection to 2Mbps. I have a Dlink DRO-250i router. My ISP provided me the following configuration for me to configure router:

WAN IP = 172.***.***.***                Numbered SUBNET = 255.255.255.252

LAN IP = 210.***.***.***       GLOBAL/PUBLIC IP SUBNET = 255.255.255.248

Encapsulation = PPP BANDWIDTH = 1984

The leased line modem is connected with the router via V.35 DTE WAN1. The Dlink DRO-250i router facilities are not CISCO. So how do I put encapsulation and bandwidth in this router?

Answer Wiki:
Unless you have an internet routable block of 172.x.x.x your WAN and LAN IP address range appear to be reversed. (172.16.x.x - 172.31.x.x are in the private address space).

Configuring LAN connection (internal) is section 2.1
Set your internal IP block to a private IP address block.

Configuring WAN 3 is section 2.5 (You may be using WAN 1 or 2 but WAN 3 is the best match to the information provided.)
PPPoE is section 2.5.3 which matches your Encapsulation
MTU which may match your "BANDWIDTH" value.
I would confirm MTU == BANDWIDTH with your service provider.

You can read up on DNS, DHCP and other advanced features provided by your router.

Private Address Space
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the
following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix)
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix)
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)
