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: Your modem settings may appear slightly different from the images below, but the steps will be the same.

1. Connect a device to your network over WiFi or using an Ethernet cable connected to your modem. This works best on a tablet or computer.

2. Open a web browser and type http://192.168.0.1 into the web address field.
