Edimax Technology AR-7266WNA, AR-7266WNB Default Gateway Router, DNS Server IP Address, Ethernet

CPE

Customer Premises Equipment, such as ADSL router, USB modem.

Default Gateway (Router)

Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the destination.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, this protocol automatically gives every computer on your home network an IP address.

DNS Server IP Address

DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet servers to have a domain name (such as www. ADSLrouter.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet servers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing " ADSLrouter.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned to you.

DSL

Digital Line Subscriber (DSL) technology provides high-speed access over twisted copper pair for connection to the Internet, LAN interfaces, and to DSL services such as video-on-demand, distance learning, and video conferencing.

Ethernet

It is a standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables and hubs or switches, and move data around at up to 10/100 million bits per second (Mbps).
