Primary DNS

This entry is for the IP address of your primary domain name server,
which should also be provided to you by your ISP. The router will first

try the Primary DNS Address to resolve a website’s URL IP address.
If this IP address fails, the router will then try the Secondary DNS

Address.

Secondary DNS

The IP address of the secondary domain name server will be used to

resolve a website’s URL IP address if the Primary DNS Address fails.
The information in this field should also be provided by your ISP.

MTU

This field refers to the Maximum Transfer Unit, which is the maximum
size of a packet, in bytes, that will be accepted by the router. The

default setting is 1500 bytes. This field should not be altered unless
instructed by your ISP.
