upgrading from R7000 to D7800 and having DNS troubles

[GLO]

Hi,

I picked up a new D7800 and configured the DSL login details.

I was able to connect over Wifi to the D7800 but after entering the DSL credentials, and using AutoDetect DNS settings.

I have been connected (confirmed with the DSL providor that a session connected) 

But i continue to get DNS errors and i cant even log back into routerlogin.net

Wifi says i have a connection but no internet, the browser says DNS errors.

I have factory reset the D7800 3 times already and even with the factory settings, i still have issues opening routerlogin.net

Any tips or help please.

Thanks in advance.

Hi DarrenM,

Thanks for your reply.

I figured it out finally.

I had set up my R7000 to use 192.168.1.101 and my Sony smart TV used static IP 192.168.1.1.

The D7800 uses by default 192.168.1.1 and this was causing the clash.

I have some other D7800 questions that I will post new threads for.

Thanks again.

Regards

Hello GLO

Have you tried to use googles open DNS in the modem settings to see if its a issue with the ISP DNS?
