As Dan said, this is usually handled by your ISP-provided router for 
network access.  On the LAN/WLAN side, the router just routes packets 
over a private 192.168.1/24 subnet.

A client-side login solution is extremely rare and almost never exists 
these days, so you'll need to be more specific than "there's no evidence 
for this but maybe it exists somewhere?" if you want specific advice. 
The general advice is no, you don't have to log into anything 
anywhere--either there's a hardware handshake or your ISP-provided 
equipment will perform the PTPOE authentication, but end-user devices 
are completely agnostic about this.
