N300 WiFi Router (N300R) User Manual
1-10 Configuring Basic Connectivity
v1.0, May 2012
• Connection Mode. This drop-down list selects when the router will connect to and
disconnect from the Internet.
– The list includes:
• Always On. The router logs in to the Internet immediately after booting and never
disconnects.
• Dial on Demand. The router logs in only when outgoing traffic is present and logs out
after the idle time-out.
• Manually Connect. The router logs in or logs out only when the user clicks Connect
or Disconnect in the Router Status screen.
– Idle Timeout. Your Internet connection is logged out if there is no data transfer during the
specified time interval.
– 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.
– Router MAC Address. Select the default router MAC address, the computer MAC
address, or a MAC address that you specify.

Note: If you enter or change a DNS address, restart the computers on your
network so that these settings take effect.
