• Perform a DNS Lookup: A DNS (Domain Name Server) converts the Internet name (e.g.
www.netgear.com) to an IP address. If you need the IP address of a Web, FTP, Mail or other
Server on the Internet, you can do a DNS lookup to find the IP address.
• Display the Routing Table: This operation will display the internal routing table. This
information is used by Technical Support and other staff who understand Routing Tables.
• Reboot the Router: Use this button to perform a remote reboot (restart). You can use this if the
Router seems to have become unstable or is not operating normally.
Note: Rebooting will break any existing connections either to the Router (such as this one) or
through the Router (for example, LAN users accessing the Internet). However, connections to the
Internet will automatically be re-established when possible.
Reviewing the VoIP and QoS Settings
You can use the VoIP and QoS Status Help page to check the current settings for your VoIP and
QoS that the Router is provisioned automatically by provisioning server (SASVP). This page also
displays the other downloaded configuration information, such as, firmware file name and Name
servers (primary and secondary). If you wish you to change this configuration, you'll have to
change it on the Router Upgrade and Provisioning page.
