7. Select "Use These DNS Servers" if your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses. Type the
primary and secondary addresses.You should only disable NAT if you are sure you do not
require it. NAT automatically assigns private IP addresses (192.168.0.x) to LAN connected
devices. When NAT is disabled, only standard routing is performed by this router.
Classical routing lets you directly manage the IP addresses the DG834 uses. Classical routing
should be selected only by experienced users.
Note: Disabling NAT will reboot the router and reset all the DG834 configuration
settings to the factory default. Disable NAT only if you plan to install the
DG834 in a setting where you will be manually administering the IP address
space on the LAN side of the router.
