utility. If you have already installed and set up the Router, you have already
seen this screen and properly configured all of the screen’s values.
• Host Name & Domain Name These fields allow you to supply a host and
domain name for the Router. Some ISPs require these names as identifica-

service has been configured with a host and domain name. In most cases,
leaving these fields blank will work.
• Firmware Version This entry shows the version and date of the firmware
you are using. Future versions of the Router’s firmware will be posted and
