Router Settings

This section is used to configure the internal network settings of the Router. This IP address is private to your internal network and cannot be seen on the Internet. The default Router IP Address is 192.168.0.1 and the Default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. The Local Domain Name is for the local Domain set on your network, if you have given it a name previously. This field is for your personal use and unnecessary for proper configuration of this window.

In addition, the Router can be configured to relay DNS from your ISP or another available service to workstations on your LAN. When Enable DNS Relay is checked, the Router will accept DNS requests from hosts on the LAN and forward them to the ISP (or alternative) DNS servers. Alternatively, you may also disable the DNS relay and configure hosts on your LAN to use DNS servers directly. Most users who are using the Router for DHCP service on the LAN and are using DNS servers on the ISP’s network, will leave DNS relay enabled.
