Easy Setup 7-7

Note: If the Netopia R9100’s WAN interface is acting as a DHCP client, do not change the default settings for Steps 3, 4, and 5.

4.Select Primary Domain Name Server and enter the IP address your ISP has given you. An alternate or Secondary Domain Name Server field will appear, where you can enter a secondary DNS IP address if your ISP has given you one.

5.If you do not enter a Default IP Gateway value, the router defaults to the remote IP address you entered in Easy Setup. If the Netopia Router does not recognize the destination of any IP traffic, it forwards that traffic to this gateway.

Do not confuse the remote IP address and the Default IP Gateway’s address with the block of local IP addresses you receive from your ISP. You use the local IP addresses for the Netopia R9100’s Ethernet port and for IP clients on your local network. The remote IP address and the default gateway’s IP address should point to your ISP’s router.

6.Toggle IP Address Serving to On or Off.

7.Select NEXT SCREEN and press Return. The Easy Setup Security Configuration screen appears.
