If you didn't use PPPoE with a previous router, and you don't have
the credentials, then my guess would be that you shouldn't use PPPoE
with your new router.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for
"Specify Your Internet Settings", and, in particular, "Specify an
Internet connection without a login".
In any case, your (unspecified) ISP should be able to tell you what
the right configuration is, even if they're unwilling/unable to provide
the Netgear-specific how-to details.
