Setting Custom Domain Name Server (DNS) Settings
A “Domain Name Server” is a server located on the Internet that
translates Universal Resource Locators (URLs) like “www.belkin.com”
into IP addresses. Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) do not require
you to enter this information into the Router. The “Automatic from ISP”
box
(1)
should be checked if your ISP did not give you a specific DNS
address. If you are using a static IP connection type, then you may
need to enter a specific DNS address and secondary DNS address for
your connection to work properly. If your connection type is dynamic
or PPPoE, it is likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address.
Leave the “Automatic from ISP” box checked. To enter the DNS address
settings, uncheck the “Automatic from ISP” box and enter your DNS
entries in the spaces provided. Click “Apply Changes”
(2)
to save
the settings.

Alternate Setup Method
Configuring your WAN Media Access Controller (MAC) Address
All network components including cards, adapters, and routers, have
a unique “serial number” called a MAC address. Your Internet Service
Provider may record the MAC address of your computer’s adapter and
only let that particular computer connect to the Internet service. When
you install the Router, its own MAC address will be “seen” by the
ISP and may cause the connection not to work. Belkin has provided
the ability to clone (copy) the MAC address of the computer into the
Router. This MAC address, in turn, will be seen by the ISP’s system as
the original MAC address and will allow the connection to work. If you
are not sure whether your ISP needs to see the original MAC address,
simply clone the MAC address of the computer that was originally
connected to the modem. Cloning the address will not cause any
problems with your network.
