CONFIGURING BASIC ISP CONNECTIONS

In many cases, you will be able to connect to your ISP without adjusting any of your router’s communication settings. However, if your ISP assigns you a domain name or URL (e.g.,jonesfamily.net) or if your ISP tells you to communicate with a particular Domain Name System (DNS) server, you will need to enter this information into the router. (A DNS server translates the domain name or URL into the numeric designation—or IP address—of the computer that maintains that web site.)

To correctly configure the router to connect to the Internet, you may need the following information from your ISP:

∙The name your computer was assigned by your ISP

∙The IP addresses of the primary and secondary Domain Name System (DNS) servers used by your ISP. The IP address is a four-part number separated by periods. (You can also configure the router to automatically obtain the DNS server address from your ISP.)
