Router Settings
This section is used to configure the internal network settings of the Router.
This IP address is private to your internal network and cannot be seen on the
Internet. The default Router IP Address is 192.168.0.1 and the Default
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. The Local Domain Name is for the local
Domain set on your network, if you have given it a name previously. This
field is for your personal use and unnecessary for proper configuration of this
window.
In addition, the Router can be configured to relay DNS from your ISP or
another available service to workstations on your LAN. When Enable DNS
Relay is checked, the Router will accept DNS requests from hosts on the
LAN and forward them to the ISP (or alternative) DNS servers.
Alternatively, you may also disable the DNS relay and configure hosts on
your LAN to use DNS servers directly. Most users who are using the Router
for DHCP service on the LAN and are using DNS servers on the ISP’s
network, will leave DNS relay enabled.
