as chris.mynetwork.net. Note, however, the entered domain name can be overridden
by the one obtained from the router's upstream DHCP server.
ƒ Enable DNS Relay: Place a check in this box to enable the DNS relay feature. When
DNS Relay is enabled, the router plays the role of a DNS server. DNS requests sent
to the router are forwarded to the ISP's DNS server. This provides a constant DNS
address that LAN computers can use, even when the router obtains a different DNS
server address from the ISP upon re-establishing the WAN connection. You should
disable DNS relay if you implement a LAN-side DNS server as a virtual server.

6.2.3 Wireless Settings
ƒ These options allow you to enable/disable the wireless interface, switch between the
11n, 11b/g and 11b radio band and channel frequency
ƒ Enable Wireless: Place a check in this box to enable the wireless interface, it is
enabled by default.
ƒ Wireless Network Name: The SSID is a unique named shared amongst all the
points of the wireless network. The SSID must be identical on all points of the
wireless network and cannot exceed 32 characters.
802.11 Mode: Select the IEEE 802.11 mode from the drop-down list. For example, if
you are sure that the wireless network will be using only IEEE 802.11g clients, then it
is recommended to select 802.11g only instead of 2.4 GHz B+G which will reduce
the performance of the wireless network. You may also select Mixed 802.11n,
802.11g and 802.11b. If all of the wireless devices you want to connect with this
router can connect in the same transmission mode, you can improve performance
slightly by choosing the appropriate "Only" mode. If you have some devices that use
a different transmission mode, choose the appropriate "Mixed" mode.
Wireless Channel: Select a channel from the drop-down list. The channels available
are based on the country’s regulation. A wireless network uses specific channels in
the wireless spectrum to handle communication between clients. Some channels in
your area may have interference from other electronic devices. Choose the clearest
channel to help optimize the performance and coverage of your wireless network.
