assign IP addresses to local devices.

DNS Server Enable DNS stands for Domain Name System. This is an Internet standard that
facilitates communication among devices. This allows a name to be used when
specifying a device instead of an IP address. Normally you want this enabled.

standard that allows the Router to automatically assign IP addresses to devices
connected on the LAN network. It is advised that this opt ion is set to Enabled.
