Configuration DNS server (Step 5c)

Only necessary if WAN port is using a static IP

address for Internet access.

▪ Note: To resolve DNS names (like www.google.com)

the Router must have access to a DNS Server. If the

WAN port is configured using DHCP then the IP

address of the DNS server automatically will be

provided by the DHCP server.

▪ If the IP address of the WAN port is configured with a

static IP then additionally a DNS server has to be set

manually.

➢ Goto menu Configuration → Network → DNS.

➢ Enter your own Hostname (is optional).

➢ Enter at least 1 IP address of a DNS server (starting

with parameter ‘1

DNS server’).

➢ Click button ‘Apply Settings’.

Router now is connected via IP 192.168.1.254

4.6 Configuration of the Router

Chapter 4 – Setup of a remote access scenario (Configuration Router)

In this example the public

Google DNS server (IP

8.8.8.8) is used.

Note: This IP address

generally can be used to

resolve DNS names.

Skip this step if the WAN

port of the Router is

configured to DHCP.
