DNS Setup 

To access the 

DNS 

window, click the 

DNS 

button in the 

Advanced

 directory. 

 

The Router can be configured to relay DNS settings from your ISP or 
another available service to workstations on your LAN. When using DNS 
relay, the Router will accept DNS requests from hosts on the LAN and 
forward them to the ISP’s, or alternative DNS servers. DNS relay can 
use auto discovery or the DNS IP address can be manually entered by 
the user. Alternatively, you may also disable the DNS relay and 
configure hosts on your LAN to use DNS servers directly. Most users 
who are using the Router for DHCP service on the LAN and are using 
DNS servers on the ISP’s network, will leave DNS relay enabled (either 
auto discovery or user configured). 

If you have not been given specific DNS server IP addresses or if the 
Router is not pre-configured with DNS server information, select the 

Obtain DNS server address automatically

 option. Auto discovery DNS 

instructs the Router to automatically obtain the DNS IP address from the 
ISP through DHCP. If your WAN connection uses a Static IP address, 
auto discovery for DNS cannot be used. 

 

If you have DNS IP addresses provided by your ISP, click the 

Use the 

following DNS server addresses

 radio button and enter these IP 

addresses in the available entry fields for the Preferred DNS Server and 
the Alternative DNS Server. When you have configured the DNS 
settings as desired, click the 

Apply 

button.
