DNS
DNS Server
DNS (Domain Name System) is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP
addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they are easier to remember.
However, the Internet is based on IP addresses. Therefore, each time you type a domain
name, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For
example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4. The
DNS system consists of a network of DNS servers. If one DNS server does not know how
to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one and so on until the correct IP
address is returned.
If you select the Enable Automatic Assigned DNS checkbox, the router will receive and
use the DNS Server assigned by your ISP.
To use your preferred DNS servers, disable the Enable Automatic Assigned DNS checkbox
and key in the IP address of your Primary DSN server. Adding a Secondary DNS server is
optional.
