DNS Settings

You have the option to choose specific DNS servers for your network instead of using the DNS servers assigned by your Internet provider. The

default DNS servers are usually adequate. You may want to assign DNS servers if the default DNS servers are performing poorly, if you want WiFi
clients to access DNS servers that you use for customized addressing, or if you have a local DNS server on your network.

Figure 53: DNS Settings

AutomaticConfig

: Automatic or Static (default: Automatic). Switching to “Static” enables you to set specific DNS servers in the

PrimaryDNS

and

SecondaryDNS

fields.

PrimaryDNS

and

SecondaryDNS

: If you choose to specify your DNS servers, then enter the IP addresses of the servers you want as your primary

and secondary DNS servers in these fields. The DNS server settings will be pre-populated with public DNS server IP addresses. You can override
the IP address with any other DNS server IP address of your choice. For example, Google Public DNS servers have the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and
8.8.4.4 while 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3 are servers from Level 3 Communications.

ForceAllDNS RequestsToRouter

: Enabling this will redirect all DNS requests from LAN clients to the router’s DNS server. This will allow the

router even more control over IP addresses even when clients have their own DNS servers statically set.

DynamicDNS Configuration

The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, etc.) using a domain name that you have purchased (www.yourname.com) with
your dynamically assigned IP address. Most broadband Internet Service Providers assign dynamic (changing) IP addresses. When you use a
Dynamic DNS service provider, you can enter your host name to connect to your server, no matter what your IP address is.

•

EnableDynamicDNS

: Enable this option only if you have purchased your own domain name and registered with a Dynamic DNS service

provider.

•

ServerType

. Select a dynamic DNS service provider from the dropdown list:

–

DynDNS

–

DNS-O-Matic

–

ChangeIP

–

NO-IP

–

Custom Server (DynDNS clone)

•

CustomServerAddress

. Only available if you select Custom Server from the Server Address dropdown list. Enter your custom DynDNS

clone server address here. For example: www.mydyndns.org.

•

UseHTTPS

: Use the more secure HTTPS protocol. This is recommended, but could be disabled if not compatible with the server.

•

Hostname

: Enter your host name, fully qualified. For example: myhost.mydomain.net.

•

Username

: Enter the user name or key provided by the dynamic DNS service provider. If the dynamic DNS provider supplies only a key,

enter that key for both the

Username

and

Password

fields.

•

Password

: Enter the password or key provided by the dynamic DNS service provider.
