8. Disconnect after X….
The Disconnect feature is used to automatically disconnect the
Router from your ISP when there is no activity for a specified
period of time. For instance, placing a check mark next to this
option and entering “5” into the minute field will cause the Router
to disconnect from the Internet after five minutes of no Internet
activity. This option should be used if you pay for your Internet
service by the minute. In order to disable this function simply set
the value to “0”.
Setting Custom Domain Name Server (DNS) Settings
A “Domain Name Server” is a server located on the Internet that
translates Universal Resource Locater (URLs) like “www.belkin.com”
to IP addresses. Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) do not require
you to enter this information into the Router. The “Automatic from ISP”
box (1) should be checked if your ISP did not give you a specific DNS
address. If you are using a static IP connection type, then you may
need to enter a specific DNS address and secondary DNS address for
your connection to work properly. If your connection type is dynamic
or PPPoE, it is likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address.
Leave the “Automatic from ISP” box checked. To enter the DNS address
settings, uncheck the “Automatic from ISP” box and enter your DNS
entries in the spaces provided. Click “Apply Changes” (2) to save
the settings.
