Changing dns settings on Huawei HG532s

[bnr88]

Hi guys.

I just bought a hg532s and a roku box which i'm using to access netflix via unotelly. I need to change the dns settings on the router to the unotelly dns addresses. This was an easy process on my previous router but seems a bit more complicated on this one. I know pretty much nothing about this kind of thing so please bear with me.

There is a ddns page but i have no idea what any of these things mean. Please help!

I have attached a screenshot of the ddns page.

I'm not familiar with the Huawei HG532s, but try this:
Did a quick Google search:

Go to Basic and then LAN, under DHCP, you can change the primary and secondary DNS server, then click submit.

I did a google search first and also found that method, but it doesn't work. Under basic, the only changes i can make are my isp username and password.

I had that router previously. But don't recall being able to manually set the DNS server. In the end we had to set it on individual devices as far as I recall.

I've done that on my other devices, but the problem with roku is that you can't change its dns setting individually, so you have to do it through the router. Guess i'm just gonna exchange this one for different model. Seems pretty stupid to make a router that you can't change dns settings for though.

I just bought one of these Huawei devices (essentially out of desperation - it was cheap and a way to get online fast). The device appears to be locked - loads of settings (such as DHCP) not available. No info on the Huawei support site either. Seems I'm going to be in the market for another router soon.

Found a site that explains how to do it.

Basically:
On the left select 'Basic' then WAN.
In the middle of the page there is a option: PPPoE type
Change from Dynamic PPP to Static PPP
Enter the DNS Details.
