Chapter 18:
General and WAN Setup
The chapter shews you the information on general setup and how to confi gure the WAN.
18.1 General Setup
Menu 1 - General Setup contains administrative and system-related information (shown next).
The System Name fi eld is for identifi cation purposes. However, because some ISPs check this
name you should enter your computer’s “Computer Name”.
The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave
this blank, the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter
the host name (System Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be
assigned from the WR1500 Wireless Router via DHCP.
18.1.1 Dynamic DNS
To use this service, you must register with the Dynamic DNS service provider. The Dynamic
DNS service provider will give you a password or key. The WR1500 Wireless Router supports
www.dyndns.org. You can apply to this service provider for Dynamic DNS service.
DYNDNS Wildcard
Enabling the wildcard feature for your host causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the
same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org. This feature is useful if you want to be able to use,
for example, www.yourhost.dyndns.org and still reach your hostname.
18.1.2 Procedure To Confi gure Menu 1
