At this point click on [Edit], next to the Type of Internet Connection voice, and choose the correct type of your connection. NB: In this example we’ll use the Static IP. If you want to use the Automatic Configuration – DHCP, then you need to configure our DNSs on the device with the Server DHCP enabled.

Fill in the field as follow:


– Internet IPv4 address: Type your Public Static IP.
– Subnet mask: Type the Subnet mask of your connection.
– Default gateway: Enter the default gateway (usually the Router’s IP).
– DNS 1: Type the IP 185.236.104.104.
– DNS 2 (optional): Type the IP 185.236.105.105.
– DNS 3 (optional): Let the field empty.

Click on the [Ok] button to save.

To do that open the [Security] menu and then click on the [Apps and Gaming] section.

 

Select Dyn.com from the drop-down menu, next to the Select a provider: voice and fill in the fields in this way:

– Username: Type the Content Filter email/username.
– Password: Type the Content Filter password.
– Host Name: Enter ddns.flashstart.com.

Click the [Update] button to apply the changes and run the service.

After that you can enable the DHCP Server to automatically distribute our DNS on internal network devices.
 

Open the [Connectivity] menu and then click on [Local Network] tab.
Check the DHCP Server entry, to enable the service, and then configure it with your network paramenters.

 

Enter the following IPs respectively in the fields Static DNS 1 and Static DNS 2:
– 185.236.104.104
– 185.236.105.105

Click [Ok] to run the service.
