of time a network user will be allowed connection to the
Router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the

The Domain Name System (DNS) is how
the Internet translates domain or website names into
Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide you with at
least one DNS Server IP Address. If you wish to use another,
enter that IP Address in one of these fields. You can enter up
to three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The Router will use
these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers.
WINS
The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS)
manages each computer's interaction with the Internet. If
you use a WINS server, enter that server's IP Address here.
Otherwise, leave this blank.

Setup > DDNS
The Router offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)
feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and domain
name to a dynamic Internet IP address. It is useful when
you are hosting your own website, FTP server, or other
server behind the Router.
Before you can use this feature, you need to sign
up for DDNS service with a DDNS service provider,
www.dyndns.org or www.TZO.com. If you do not want
to use this feature, keep the default, Disabled.
