DNS
DNS or Domain Name Server is a system that translates Domain Names into IP addresses. Setting up
a DNS will allow the router to contact the DNS to ask it to translate and find a web site you have
entered. The following window allows you to set two DNS servers by their IP addresses and these IP
addresses should be supplied to you by your ISP.

To configure the DNS for the Router, use the DNS Relay Selection pull down menu to select the DNS
configuration for the router. There are three choices:
Disable DNS – Selecting this option will disable the DNS function of your router.
Use Auto Discovered DNS Server Only – This choice will enable the router to automatically
find the DNS Server for your setup.
Use User Discovered DNS Server Only – This choice will enable the DNS Servers entered in
the Preferred DNS Server and Alternate DNS Server fields. These two IP addresses must be stated
to you by your ISP.
