Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS Server IP Address. You
can enter up to three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The Router will use
these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers.
WINS:
The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) manages each
PC's interaction with the Internet. If you use a WINS server, enter that
server’s IP Address here. Otherwise, leave this blank.
