How to configure DNS host mapping on your modem

DNS host mapping creates a static hostname for the specified IP address in the DSL router. Both WAN and LAN IP addresses are supported.

NOTE: Depending on your model, your modem's user interface may appear slightly different from the images below.

1. Connect a device, such as a computer or tablet, to the internet through WiFi or using an Ethernet cable connected to your modem.

3. Log in to the modem's settings interface (Modem GUI) using your Admin Username and Admin Password. Note that these are different from your wireless network name (SSID) and WiFi password (security key).
