DNS Server Settings

The Router can be configured to relay DNS from your ISP or another available service to workstations on your
LAN. When using DNS relay, the Router will accept DNS requests from hosts on the LAN and forward them to
the ISP (or alternative) DNS servers. DNS relay can use auto discovery or the DNS IP address can be manually
entered by the user. Alternatively, you may also disable the DNS relay and configure hosts on your LAN to use
DNS servers directly. Most users who are using the Router for DHCP service on the LAN and are using DNS
servers on the ISP's network, will leave DNS relay enabled (either auto discovery of user configured).
Configure DNS Settings
In the DNS Relay Selection pull-down menu, choose to Use Auto Discovery, Use User Configured or Disable
DNS relay.
If you have not been given specific DNS server IP addresses or if the Router is not pre-configured with DNS
server information, select the Auto Discover option for DNS relay. Auto discovery DNS instructs the Router to
automatically obtain the DNS IP address from the ISP through DHCP. If your WAN connection uses a Static IP
address, auto discovery for DNS cannot be used.
If you have DNS IP addresses provided by your ISP, enter these IP addresses in the available entry fields for the
Preferred DNS Server and the Alternative DNS Server.
If you choose to disable DNS relay, it will be necessary to configure DNS settings for hosts on the LAN since
they will not be depending on the Router to forward the DNS requests.
When you have configured the DNS settings as desired, click the Apply button.
