Reference Manual for the Model RP614 v2 Web Safe Router
Connecting the Router to the Internet 2-9
• To change the login timeout, enter a new value in minutes. This determines how long the
router keeps the Internet connection active after there is no Internet activity from the LAN.
Entering a timeout value of zero means never log out.
Note: You no longer need to run the ISP’s login program on your PC in order to access the
Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router will automatically log you in.
• If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addre sse s t o the router during
login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter the IP address of your ISP’s Primary DNS
Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is available, enter it also.
Note: If you enter DNS addresses, restart your computers so that these settings take effect.
• Click Apply to save your settings.
• Click Test to verify that your Internet connection works. If the NETGEAR website does not
appear within one minute, refer to Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting.”
