I want to use Google DNS so I put 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in DNS forwardings, but I still get my ISP's 404 pages when I go to domains that don't exist. I tried ipconfig/flushdns and restarting the router. Here's my settings
Under my ethernet adapter on /ipconfig all, it says my DNS servers are fd3b:964b:4b8f::1 and 192.168.200.1
It's not a stupid question at all This isn't as straight forward as you would think.
When I changed "DHCP-Options" in Advanced LAN settings it stopped the DHCP server from working. I had to set a static IP on my LAN adapter to get back in to reverse it.
I might have been having other issues when I was testing.
It's actually is easy to change DHCP to give out DNS servers if someone tells you how to do it
Network => Interfaces => LAN => DHCP Server section => Advanced Settings => DHCP-Options
The DHCP option is 6 followed by the DNS servers IP Addresses separated by commas as the example below shows:
The clients will now get the Google public DNS servers when they get a new IP.
