Title: Advanced DNS Service servers missing ... no internet sites available!
Post by: Bendan on January 28, 2011, 08:28:02 AM

The servers (204.194.232.200/204.194.234.200) shown when I enable Advanced DNS Service are not showing up on a ping/traceroute.

I am unable to get to Internet sites via wireless (wired still works)
The error is DNS related.
I turned Advanced DNS Service off and used my gateway's servers and everything works.

It took me about 1/2 hour to solve this and my wife gave me hell the whole time.

Advanced DNS Service stays off until I find out it is improved and both servers are NOT in the same location and both vulnerable to the same outage.

It's been recommended to turn off Advanced DNS Services. Not sure why this option is not working well for these routers.

It's recommended to copy over the Primary and 2ndary DNS IP addresses from the WAN section yoru getting from the ISP modem and put them into the Setup/Internet/Manual settings. But if the servers were down and back up then your probably good to go.
