DNS Servers

DNS (Domain Name System) manages the relationships between domain 

names and IP addresses. For example, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 

204.217.0.2. Without a DNS server, you must know the IP address of the 

computer you want to access before you access it.

First DNS Server
Second DNS Server
Third DNS Server

Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information. (In this 

case, the ISP assigns the WAN IP address too. See Network > WAN > Internet 

Connection.) The field to the right is read-only, and it displays the IP address 

provided by your ISP.
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. You might get 

it from your ISP or from your network. Enter the IP address in the field to the 

right.
Select None if you do not want to use this DNS server. If you select None for all 

of the DNS servers, you must use IP addresses to configure the ZyXEL Device 

and to access the Internet.
