Regardless of model, the parts about PPPoE or "parameters provided by neighbor ISP" do not apply here if OP isn't connecting to their neighbor's ISP – they're trying to connect to their neighbor's own router, which will not be providing PPPoE (and OP is specifically trying to avoid "static IP" as well).

@user1686: Yes, the word ISP was superfluous - deleted. The "Static IP" part is because that's what the article said, but I'm also doubtful about what it's used for, as the connection to the neighbor is done with Dynamic IP. The poster will have to find out by trial and error, but it might be the router's own IP in the created local network (again just a guess). Hopefully the router's firmware will add more inline help.

Well, "Static IP" would work, technically, but OP already got told for using it when connecting their other devices, so they likely won't be able to use it when connecting a router as well. (These two options are not something unique to WISP mode, it's the same kind of IP configuration as in a PC, so OP needs to use "Dynamic IP" which is just straight up DHCP client mode.) "PPPoE" on the other hand isn't going to work at all when connecting to a consumer router, except in very rare cases.

@user1686: Hell's bells, I think I understand now - the article presents two possibilities and I listed both by mistake. The "Dynamic IP" option leads directly to the "Survey" step. So you're right, PPPoE is not involved at all. Thanks for your help - I deleted the superfluous part.

FROM OP: No "WISP Client Router" option available in this router.
