Using the Setup Wizard (continued)

DNS (Domain Naming System) Screen

If you entered an IP address in the Network Address screen (described on the previous page) you will see the screen for setting DNS server addresses. The DNS screen asks for information regarding the Domain Name System (DNS) server.

You should be able to get

both of these settings from

your router configuration settings, ISP or your network administrator. Only the primary DNS server address is required, though it is best to have both the primary and secondary addresses.

Press OK to continue.

The Domain Name System (DNS) translates Internet domain names (for example www.dlink.com, which is easy for humans to use and remember) to IP Addresses, which are what computers use to find each other on the Internet.

Network Speed Screen

The Network Speed screen asks you to select the type of broadband Internet connec- tion you use. Each choice has default send and receive speeds defined for you. If you need to change these set- tings after completing the Setup Wizard, this can be done by selecting the Set- tings > Network > Speed screen.

Press Next to continue.
