Default Gateway (Smart Repeater):
Every non-Smart Repeater IP device
needs to configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out
an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to
send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the
destination.
DHCP:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically
gives every computer on your home network an IP address.
DNS Server IP Address:
DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows
Internet servers to have a domain name (such as www.BroadbandSmart
Repeater.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS
server keeps a database of Internet servers and their respective domain
names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in
typing "Broadbandrouter.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to
the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address used by the computers on
your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned to
you.
DSL Modem:
DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses
your existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.
Ethernet:
A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are
connected by special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10/100
million bits per second (Mbps).
Idle Timeout:
Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no traffic to the
Internet for a pre-configured amount of time, the connection will automatically
be disconnected.
IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask:
IP stands for Internet Protocol. An
IP address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, which
identifies a single, unique Internet computer host in an IP network. Example:
192.168.1.2. It consists of 2 portions: the IP network address, and the host
identifier.
The IP address is a 32-bit binary pattern, which can be represented as four
cascaded decimal numbers separated by “.”: aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa, where each
