DNS servers. With DNS masquerading ON, the DHCP server embedded in the NTC-220 series router hands out its own IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1) as the DNS server address to LAN clients. The downstream clients then send DNS requests to the NTC-220 series router which proxies them to the upstream DNS servers.
DHCP server is located on the Wireless WAN or LAN connections, the clients behind the NTC-220 series router are able to communicate with the DHCP server when DHCP relay is enabled. This enables the NTC-220 series router to accept client broadcast messages and to forward them onto another subnet.
