Internet access settings
This section displays details of the settings that allow your
device to access the Internet. These details include:
IP address and
subnet mask: The IP address and subnet mask
assigned to your WAN interface. This
address is used temporarily until your
ISP assigns a real IP address (via DHCP
or PPP – see Internet Access.
Default gateway: The address of the ISP server through
which your Internet connection will be
routed.
DNS servers: The Domain Name System (DNS)
servers used by your ISP to map domain
names to IP addresses.
Your ISP assigns all of these settings. In most cases, you will
not need to make changes to these settings in order for your
Internet connection to work. If your ISP does ask you to change
any of these settings, follow the instructions for manually
configuring your device in Internet Access.
