This screen provides setup for the following parameters:
a.
WAN IP Address Assignment: Unless your ISP has assigned a fixed permanent IP address
for your use, select "Get automatically from ISP". Otherwise, enter your IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and the IP Address of your ISP’s gateway router.
b.
DNS Server Address Assignment: If you know that your ISP does not automatically
transmit DNS addresses to the router during login, select “DNS IP Fixed Address” and
enter the IP address of the ISP’s Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address
is available, enter it also.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www
addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP addresses of one or
two DNS servers to your router during login. If the ISP does not transfer an address, you
must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here. If you enter an address here, you
should reboot your PCs after configuring the router.
c.
WAN MAC address: If your ISP allows access by only one specific PC’s Ethernet MAC
address, select "Spoof this PC’s MAC address" and enter the IP address of that PC.
