ROUTER SETUP

which the connected client computers are instructed to request a

new IP address from the router.

DNS Proxy: When activated, the router acts as a DNS server in your

network, which means that the computer sends the DNS request to

the router, which in turn queries the ISP’s DNS server. Since the

router is caching the results, subsequent requests to the same

domain name benefit from a performance gain. NOTE: These gains

are negible in smaller networks, so leaving this option disabled —

thus having the client doing the DNS look-up itself — is more often

than not the best option.

3.4.2 DHCP Client List

connected to the router.
