3.5.3 DNS

Go to Interface -> LAN to enable DHCP server. Then you can set DNS server for the

router. A Domain Name system (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses

and Web addresses. If you type a Web address into you browser, a DNS server will

find that name in its index and find the matching IP address.

Most ISPs provide a DNS server for speed and convenience. Since your Service

Provider many connect to the Internet with dynamic IP settings, it is likely that the

DNS server IP addresses are also provided dynamically. However, if there is a DNS

server that you would rather use, you need to specify the IP address below.
