DNS

DNS is an acronym for Domain Name Server. A Domain Name Server is a server located on the Internet that translates URLs (Universal Resource Links) like www.belkin.com to IP addresses. Many ISPs do not require you to enter this information into the Router. 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.

PPPoE

Most ADSL providers use PPPoE as the connection type. If you use an ADSL modem to connect to the Internet, your ISP may use PPPoE to log you into the service.

Your connection type is PPPoE if:

1.Your ISP gave you a user name and password which is required to connect to the Internet.

2.Your ISP gave you software such as WinPoET or Enternet300 that you use to connect to the Internet.

3.You have to double-click on a desktop icon other than your browser to get on the Internet.

To set the Router to use PPPoE, type in your user name and password in the spaces provided. After you have typed in your information, click “Apply Changes”.

After you apply the changes, the “Internet Status” indicator will read “connection OK” if your Router is set up properly.

PPPoA

Enter the PPPoA information in the provided spaces, and click “Next”. Click “Apply” to activate your settings.
