of the router, which means the router is the default gateway.

 

DHCP Server IP Address for Relay Agent - Set the IP address of

 

the DHCP server you are going to use so the Relay Agent can help

 

to forward the DHCP request to the DHCP server.

DNS Server

DNS stands for Domain Name System. Every Internet host must

Configuration

have a unique IP address, also they may have a human-friendly,

 

easy to remember name such as www.yahoo.com. The DNS server

 

converts the user-friendly name into its equivalent IP address.

server (PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP or DHCP server).

 

Primary IP Address -You must specify a DNS server IP address

 

here because your ISP should provide you with usually more than

 

one DNS Server. If your ISP does not provide it, the router will

 

automatically apply default DNS Server IP address: 194.109.6.66

 

to this field.

 

Secondary IP Address - You can specify secondary DNS server IP

 

address here because your ISP often provides you more than one

 

DNS Server. If your ISP does not provide it, the router will

 

automatically apply default secondary DNS Server IP address:

 

194.98.0.1 to this field.

 

The default DNS Server IP address can be found via Online Status:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If both the Primary IP and Secondary IP Address fields are left empty, the router will assign its own IP address to local users as a DNS proxy server and maintain a DNS cache.

If the IP address of a domain name is already in the DNS cache, the router will resolve the domain name immediately. Otherwise, the router forwards the DNS query packet to the external DNS server by establishing a WAN (e.g. DSL/Cable) connection.

There are two common scenarios of LAN settings that stated in Chapter 4. For the configuration examples, please refer to that chapter to get more information for your necessity.
