Default Gateway
This is the IP address of a device at your ISP’s
office where packets destined for the Internet −
from your home network − are sent, before being
forwarded to their final destination. For the
DFL-600, the Default Gateway address is
provided by your ISP. For computers on your
home network, their Default Gateway is the IP
address of your DFL-600.
Primary DNS Server
This is the IP address of a computer on the

This is the IP address of a second DNS server, to
be used in case there is a problem with the
Primary DNS Server. A secondary DNS server

WAN connection. You can enter this name into the Host Name field.

corresponding Internet account. The DFL-600 offers a MAC cloning feature
where the DFL-600 will read the MAC address of the NIC card in the PC that
the cable modem uses to identify the user. The DFL-600 will then use this
