Hi

I recently moved and bought a new router, the D-Link DIR-860L. Looks nice and has good wifi speeds for the small apartment I'm living in.

Sadly enough ISP providers in my country (Belgium) are blocking various websites using a DNS block. So when using the default DNS servers from my ISP I can't reach all websites. Google DNS resolves this issue.

Now the problem is when I configure it on the router it shows it's configured but it's not using them. I can't reach the websites, if I manually configure it on the host machines it works. But that's why I want to configure it on the router, so I don't need to do this on every device connecting to the network.

Tips? Is there alternative firmware recommended for this device?

Kind regards,
Wouter

What region are you located?

Looks like it's configured and using them. I see your using IPv6 as well?
If you want your devices to get the configured DNS addresses from the router and not the routers default IP address, disable DNS relay. You'll need to reboot the router and PCs and devices as well.

Aha, disabling DNS Relay fixed the issue indeed. The router rebooted itself and now everything's working fine, thanks!
