Advanced Setup > 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, the router will receive and use the DNS Server

assigned by your ISP.

To use your preferred DNS servers, disable the Enable Automatic Assigned DNS checkbox and key in the IP

address of your Primary DSN server. Adding a Secondary DNS server is optional.

Advanced Setup > DNS > Dynamic DNS

The router offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and domain

name to a dynamic Internet IP Address. It is useful when you are hosting your own website, FTP server, or other

server behind the router.

Before using this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service providers. The router supports these popular

Dynamic DNS service providers:

•

www.dyndns.org

•

www.tzo.com

Click Add to create a Dynamic DNS setting.
