ƒEnable DNS Relay: Place a check in this box to enable the DNS relay feature. When DNS Relay is enabled, the router plays the role of a DNS server. DNS requests sent to the router are forwarded to the ISP's DNS server. This provides a constant DNS address that LAN computers can use, even when the router obtains a different DNS server address from the ISP upon re-establishing the WAN connection. You should disable DNS relay if you implement a LAN-side DNS server as a virtual server.

802.11 Mode: Select the IEEE 802.11 mode from the drop-down list. For example, if you are sure that the wireless network will be using only IEEE 802.11g clients, then it is recommended to select 802.11g only instead of 2.4 GHz B+G which will reduce the performance of the wireless network. You may also select Mixed 802.11n, 802.11g and 802.11b. If all of the wireless devices you want to connect with this router can connect in the same transmission mode, you can improve performance slightly by choosing the appropriate "Only" mode. If you have some devices that use a different transmission mode, choose the appropriate "Mixed" mode.

Wireless Channel: Select a channel from the drop-down list. The channels available are based on the country’s regulation. A wireless network uses specific channels in the wireless spectrum to handle communication between clients. Some channels in your area may have interference from other electronic devices. Choose the clearest channel to help optimize the performance and coverage of your wireless network.
