Maximum Idle Time You can specify an idle time threshold (seconds) for the WAN 
port. This means if no packets have been sent (no one using 
the Internet) during this specified period, the router will 
automatically disconnect the connection with your ISP. 
   
 
Step 3) DNS 
 
A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses and Web addresses. If 
you type a Web address into your browser, such as www.router.com, a DNS server will find that 
name in its index and the matching IP address. Most ISPs provide a DNS server for speed and 
convenience. If your Service Provider connects you to the Internet with dynamic IP settings, it is 
likely that the DNS server IP address is provided automatically. However, if there is a DNS server 
that you would rather use, you need to specify the IP address of that DNS server here. 
 
  
 
  
						

							 17 Parameter      Description  
Static DNS Server             Select “Enabled” to allow configuring DNS manually.  
  
Primary DNS Address This is the ISP’s DNS server IP address that they gave you; or 
you can specify your own preferred DNS server IP address. 
 
Secondary DNS Address This is optional. You can enter another DNS server’s IP 
address as a backup. The secondary DNS will be used if the 
above DNS fail. 
   
Click  when you have finished the configuration above. Congratulations! You have 
completed the connection configuration. You can start using the router now.
