    A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www.netgear.com) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP address 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.
  • Page 29 Classical routing lets you directly manage the IP addresses the MBR814 uses. Classical routing should be selected only by experienced users. Note: Disabling NAT will reboot the router and reset all the MBR814X configuration settings to the factory default. Disable NAT only if you plan to install the MBR814X in a setting where you will be manually administering the IP address space on the LAN side of the router.
