Here we explain how to change the DNS server of your NetGear router.
What is a DNS server? – A DNS server is responsible for resolving domain addresses.
Do you recommend changing the DNS server? – We recommend changing the DNS servers of your device, as this allows you to bypass the manipulation of your Internet provider, who may have set up possible blockages.
Step 1 Please open the NetGear interface in an Internet browser by accessing your device from one of the following addresses http://192.168.1.1/ or http://192.168.0.1/ . You will also need your NetGear router password.
Step 2: NetGear devices have two primary user interfaces with different capabilities. Should you see “ Basics ” and “ Consolidation ”, please select the “Basics ” tab followed by the Internet option. If you don't have these two tabs above, please select “ Basic Settings ”.
Step 3: Now please go to “ DNS (Domain Name Service) Servers ” settings and change the default setting “ Automatically retrieve from ISP ” to “ Use DNS Servers ”.
Step 4: Please enter the data for "Primary DNS Server" and "Secondary DNS Server".
Primary DNS server: 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS server: 8.8.4.4
Step 5: To save the change, all you have to do now is click on “ Apply ”. If you receive additional instructions for restarting the router, please follow them. If you don't get one, your changes should be successful.
