DNS Domain Name Service (or Server) is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use 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.
Check with your ISP for information on this screen.

If the DNS information is automatically provided by your ISP every time you connect to it, check the Automatic from ISP checkbox.
If your ISP provided you with specific DNS addresses to use, enter them into the appropriate fields on this screen and click Apply.
Many ISPs do not require you to enter this information into the Router. If you are using a Static IP connection type, you may need to enter a specific DNS address and secondary DNS address for your connection to work properly. If your connection type is Dynamic, PPPoA or PPPoE, it is likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address.
