DNS

A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses and Web addresses. If you type
a Web address into your browser, such as www.router.com, a DNS server will find that name in its
index and the matching IP address. Most ISPs provide a DNS server for efficiency and convenience. If
your Service Provider connects you to the Internet with dynamic IP settings, it is likely that the DNS
server IP address is provided automatically. However, if there is a DNS server that you would rather to
use, please specify the IP address of that DNS server here.
