Dynamic IP Address

Your IP Address is allocated automatically, when you

connect to you ISP.


Step2) DNS

A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses and Web addresses.

If you type a Web address into your browser, such as

www.router.com

, a DNS server will

find that name in its index and the matching IP address. Most ISPs provide a DNS server

for speed and convenience. If your Service Provider connects you to the Internet with

dynamic IP settings, it is likely that the DNS server IP address is provided automatically.

However, if there is a DNS server that you would rather use, you need to specify the IP

address of that DNS server here.

Parameter

It will detect the DNS server automatically

Fixed
