NEXTDNS ADBlock Setup on XR1000

[KadeW]

Hello, I'm trying to setup NEXTDNS on Dumaos the steps given are -

IPv4 (with Linked IP)

1. Open the preferences for your router. Usually you can access it from your browser via a URL (like http://192.168.0.1/ or http://192.168.1.1/).

2. Locate the DNS settings inside the interface.

3. Remove all addresses (if any) then add 45.90.28.196 and 45.90.30.196.

4. Click Save (or similar).

I can't figure out where to input those DNS settings?

While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

Nighthawk Pro Gaming Routers - NETGEAR Communities

Gaming routers have their own DumaOS operating system that is nothing like the one on Netgear's standard routers.

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

Check for various troubleshooting tips.

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

You can find that on the Internet Setup page - it's the page that opens when you first click on Settings in the menu, just scroll all the way down on Internet Setup and you'll find it.

Looks like it.

Use These DNS Servers

Read about it in the manual for the XR1000.

Yes you've got it, as above select Use These DNS servers and then you can put in the DNS you need
