Web address Monitoring Nighthawk R7000
Hello all, I'm new to this not so good at forums please forgive my grammar. Is there a way to set up my Nighthawk R7000 or what setting do I need to utilize in order to see what websites have been v...
As my luck would have it after following set up I get this:
This device is not using NextDNS.
This device is currently using ”TWC-10796-MIDWEST” as DNS resolver.
Your device needs to be in router mode. If you're using another router in front of the NETGEAR one, it won't work. Not to mention that you'll be in a double NAT situation that is really to be avoided, but that's another topic.
You can use the router's Web UI at http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.1.1 and enter the DNS IPs from NextDNS, for both IPv4 and IPv6. If this is successful, on the NextDNS page it'll show something like "this device is using this configuration with NextDNS" or something like that.
You do not say how you "configured" and what you did on the router.
Go to http://192.168.1.1
Go in the WAN config page
Set 45.90.28.88 as 1st DNS server
Set 45.90.30.88 as 2nd DNS server
if you use IPv6, do:
2a07:a8c0::49:58d9 as 1st DNS server
2a07:a8c1::49:58d9 as 2nd DNS server.
That's all it takes.
