DNS (Domain Name Server) Settings
A “Domain Name Server” is a server located on the Internet that translates Universal Resource Links (URLs) like “www.belkin.com” to IP addresses. Many ISPs do not require you to enter this information into the Router. The “Automatic from ISP” box (1) should be checked if your ISP did not give you a specific DNS address. If you are using a static IP connection type, then 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 or PPPoE, it is likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address.
