2.2.7 DNS

A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses and Web addresses. If you type a Web address into your browser, such as www.router.com, a DNS server will find that name in its index and the matching IP address. Most ISPs provide a DNS server for speed and convenience. If your Service Provider connects you to the Internet with dynamic IP settings, it is likely that the DNS server IP address is provided automatically. However, if there is a DNS server that you would rather use, you need to specify the IP address of that DNS server here.

Parameters	Description

Domain Name Server (DNS) Server	This is the ISP’s DNS server IP address that
	they gave you; or you can specify your own
	preferred DNS server IP address
Secondary DNS Address (optional)	This is optional. You can enter another DNS
	server’s IP address as a backup. The secondary
	DNS will be used should the above DNS fail.

Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or start using the router (with the advance settings in place)
