issue entering the DNS

Hi! The router doesn't save the new DNS numbers I entered. When I check my DNS on my computer or on PS4, it just shows the ISP's DNS, not the one I would like to use.

 

It's google DNS: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 I'd like to use. Any ideas?

 

Regards

  • You enter the DNS on the router itself, devices themselves will show the router IP as the DNS as they connect to that first and then will use the DNS you set.
