A Domain Name System (DNS) server converts domain names into IP addresses. Computers communicate and access the Internet using IP addresses.
Most Internet service providers (ISPs) automatically assign DNS server addresses to your router. However, if your device needs specific DNS server addresses, you must assign them to your router manually.
To set static DNS servers on your NETGEAR router:
- Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to your NETGEAR router.
- Visit www.routerlogin.net.
- Enter the username and password.
The default username is admin. The default password is password.
The BASIC page displays. - Select Internet.
The Internet Setup page displays. - Under the Domain Name Server (DNS) Address section, select the radio button for Use these DNS Servers.
- Enter your primary DNS and secondary DNS addresses.
If you do not know your primary and secondary DNS addresses, contact your ISP for assistance. - Click Apply.
Your settings are saved.
