addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet 
mask.

If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you 
have a single user account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when 
the connection is established. The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) 
reserved this block of addresses specifically for private use; please do not use any 
other number unless you are told otherwise. Let's say you select 192.168.1.0 as 
the network number; which covers 254 individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to 
192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other words, the first three 
numbers specify the network number while the last number identifies an individual 
computer on that network.

Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to 
remember, for instance, 192.168.1.1, for your P-320W v3, but make sure that no 
other device on your network is using that IP address.

The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your P-
320W v3 will compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address 
that you entered. You don't need to change the subnet mask computed by the P-
320W v3 unless you are instructed to do otherwise.

3.4.7  DNS Server Address Assignment

Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP 
address and vice versa, for instance, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 
204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must 
know the IP address of a computer before you can access it. 

The P-320W v3 can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways.

1

The 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.

2

If 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.
