Wireless Adapter RNX-N4 User Manual

6.2.2.2 ROUTER MODE

•In this mode, the device functions as a NAT router and is connected to the Internet. Select the Router Mode radio button.

•WAN Port Mode: Select the Router Mode radio button.

•Router IP Address: Specify the IP address of this device

•Subnet Mask: Specify the subnet mask for the IP address

•Local Domain Name: This entry is optional. Enter a domain name for the local network. LAN computers will assume this domain name when they get an address from the router's built in DHCP server. So, for example, if you enter mynetwork.net here, and you have a LAN side laptop with a name of chris, that laptop will be known as chris.mynetwork.net. Note, however, the entered domain name can be overridden by the one obtained from the router's upstream DHCP server.

•Enable 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.

•Click on the Save Changes button to store these settings.
