DNS
DNS Server
DNS (Domain Name System) is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are
alphabetic, they are easier to remember. However, the Internet is based on IP addresses. Therefore, each time you type a domain
name, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address.
For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4. The DNS system consists of a network of
DNS servers. 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.
If you select the Enable Automatic Assigned DNS checkbox in your WAN service connection, the router will receive and use the
DNS Server assigned by your ISP. The DNS Server configuration page enables you to select which configured WAN Service DNS
option will be used.
To use your preferred DNS servers instead, enable the ‘Use the following Static DNS IP Address’ option and enter in the IP address
of your Primary DNS server. Adding a Secondary DNS server is optional.
Click Apply/Save to save the new DNS Server Configuration settings.
