DNS Settings
You have the option to choose specific DNS servers for your network instead of using the DNS servers assigned by your Internet provider. The
default DNS servers are usually adequate. You may want to assign DNS servers if the default DNS servers are performing poorly, if you want WiFi
clients to access DNS servers that you use for customized addressing, or if you have a local DNS server on your network.
Automatic Config: Automatic or Static (default: Automatic). Switching to "Static" enables you to set specific DNS servers in the Primary DNS
and Secondary DNS fields.
Primary DNS and Secondary DNS: If you choose to specify your DNS servers, then enter the IP addresses of the servers you want as your primary
and secondary DNS servers in these fields. The DNS server settings will be pre-populated with public DNS server IP addresses. You can override
the IP address with any other DNS server IP address of your choice. For example, Google Public DNS servers have the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and
8.8.4.4 while 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3 are servers from Level 3 Communications.
Force All DNS Requests To Router: Enabling this will redirect all DNS requests from LAN clients to the router's DNS server. This will allow the
router even more control over IP addresses even when clients have their own DNS servers statically set.
Dynamic DNS Configuration
The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, etc.) using a domain name that you have purchased (www.yourname.com) with
your dynamically assigned IP address. Most broadband Internet Service Providers assign dynamic (changing) IP addresses. When you use a
Dynamic DNS service provider, you can enter your host name to connect to your server, no matter what your IP address is.
• Enable Dynamic DNS: Enable this option only if you have purchased your own domain name and registered with a Dynamic DNS service
provider.
• Server Type. Select a dynamic DNS service provider from the dropdown list:
– DynDNS
– DNS-O-Matic
– ChangeIP
– NO-IP
– Custom Server (DynDNS clone)
• Custom Server Address. Only available if you select Custom Server from the Server Address dropdown list. Enter your custom DynDNS
clone server address here. For example: www.mydyndns.org.
• Use HTTPS: Use the more secure HTTPS protocol. This is recommended, but could be disabled if not compatible with the server.
• Host name: Enter your host name, fully qualified. For example: myhost.mydomain.net.
• User name: Enter the user name or key provided by the dynamic DNS service provider. If the dynamic DNS provider supplies only a key,
enter that key for both the User name and Password fields.
• Password: Enter the password or key provided by the dynamic DNS service provider.
