Title: D-link DIR-868L - DNS Change
Post by: Svensson on November 04, 2013, 12:48:39 AM

Hi folks.

I have bought a D-link DIR-868L Wireless AC1750 Dual-Band Gigabit Cloud Router..

I have Samsung Smart TV

I live in Denmark and sometimes it happens, that I use Unblock US for Netflix (Chance Danish and US version)

Before i bought D-link DIR-868L, I could change DNS code om my smart TV / Apple TV and then change between Denmark and US.

BUT now i Cant?

Som can I do something to change the DNS number og my TV / Apple TV and NOT in my Dlink setup??

Im not use to router setup, so please help me the "amateur way"..

Link>Welcome! (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=41537.0)

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
• Link>What Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

• What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
• What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
• What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
• Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask. Link>Checking MTU Values (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=53008.0)
• For DSL/PPPoE connections on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.

Router and Wired Configurations
Some things to try: - Log into the routers web page at 192.168.0.1. Use IE, Opera or FF to manage the router.
Can change DNS here:

• Turn off DNS Relay under Setup/Networking. Link>Finding Faster DNS Addresses using Name Bench (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=53222.0)

The router will use either custom DNS addresses or automatically use the ones from your ISP. If your using specific DNS addresses, you'll need to input them into the router. Test with DNS relay ON and OFF.

Good Luck.

Hi,
Get into your router 192.168.0.1 via your browser.
Go to network settings page and uncheck Enable DNS Relay.
That worked for me.
