Reference Manual for the Model RP614 Web Safe Router

4-8 Basic Configuration of the Router

Note: You will no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your PC in order to access

the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router will automatically log you in.

3. Domain Name Server (DNS) Address: If you know that your ISP does not automatically

transmit DNS addresses to the router during login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter

the IP address of your ISP’s Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is

available, enter it also.

A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www

addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP addresses of one or

two DNS servers to your router during login. If the ISP does not transfer an address, you

must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here. If you enter an address here, you

should reboot your PCs after configuring the router.
