How to set m anual DNS addresses
The Bright Box router is set to automatically obtain the Domain Name Server (DNS) IP
address from EE broadband when establishing an Internet connection. The DNS server
translates Internet names and URL's to IP addresses in order to display web pages or other
Internet services.
It is possible to override the default 'Obtain from ISP' configuration for DNS settings and
enter custom DNS addresses. To do this:
1. Login to the router's admin pages.
2. Click on the Basic Set-Up tab.
3. In the 'DNS IP Address' dropdown, select the 'Manual' option.
4. In the 'Primary DNS' field, enter the Primary IP address of your DNS server (for example
the Primary Google DNS IP address is '8.8.8.8')
5. In the 'Secondary DNS' field enter the Secondary IP address of your DNS server (for
example the Secondary Google DNS IP address is '8.8.4.4')
6. Click Save Settings:
7. You'll be prompted that the router is 'applying changes':
8. You can confirm that the DNS settings have been changed by clicking on the status tab.
The 'Primary DNS' and 'Secondary DNS' fields will display the new DNS IP addresses:
