DNS

This page allows you to manually configure the router's DNS settings.
Domain Name System (DNS) is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP
addresses. Because domain names are alphanumeric, they are easier to remember. The
Internet, however, is actually based on IP addresses. Each time you use a domain name, a
DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the
domain name www.example.com might be translated to 198.105.232.4.
The DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server does not know how to
translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP
address is returned.
DNS CONFIGURATION
If you are using the device for DHCP service on the LAN or if you are using DNS servers on
the ISP network, select Attain DNS Automatically.
If you have alternate DNS IP addresses, select Set DNS Manually and enter them into the
DNS 1, DNS 2, and DNS 3 fields.
Click Apply Changes when you are done or Reset Selected to revert to your previously
saved settings.
