DNS stands for Domain Name System. Every Internet host
must have a unique IP address. They may also have a human-
friendly and easy-to-remember name such as www.yahoo.com.
The DNS server converts this name into its equivalent IP address.
Primary IP Address: Set the IP address of the primary DNS
server.
Secondary IP Address: Set the IP address of the secondary
DNS server.
Note:
If you leave both Primary IP and Secondary IP Address
fields blank, the router will assign its own IP address to
local users as a DNS proxy server and maintain a DNS
cache. If the IP address of a Domain Name is already
in the DNS cache, the router will resolve the Domain
Name immediately. Otherwise, the router forwards the
DNS query packet to the external DNS server by estab-
lishing a WAN (e.g. ISDN or DSL/Cable) connection.
