NETGEAR RangeMax™ Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNR3500 User Manual

–Connection Mode. This drop-down list (shown in Figure 1-6 on page 1-8) selects when the router will connect to and disconnect from the Internet. The list includes:

•Always On. The router logs in to the Internet immediately after booting and never disconnects.

•Dial on Demand. The router logs in only when outgoing traffic is present and logs out after the idle time-out.

•Manually Connect. The router logs in or logs out only when the user clicks Connect or Disconnect in the Router Status screen.

–Idle Timeout. Your Internet connection is logged out if there is no data transfer during the specified time interval.

–Domain Name Server (DNS) Address. If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to 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 or change a DNS address, restart the computers on your network so that these settings take effect.
