important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it.

The NBG-418N v2 can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways.

1The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields in the Wizard and/or WAN > Internet Connection screen.

2If the ISP did not give you DNS server information, leave the DNS Server fields set to 0.0.0.0 in the Wizard screen and/or set to From ISP in the WAN > Internet Connection screen for the ISP to dynamically assign the DNS server IP addresses.

The NBG-418N v2 is pre-configured with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.64.
