Maybe a dumb question; but what role will your DNS servers play if we are using the G5TS router from you guys?

Can you change the DNS servers on your G5TS? I can't find the DNS setting anywhere.

Hi, The same role as fibre or any medium realistically.

As far as i can find; you cant change the DNS servers on the G5TS, or am i missing something here?

HI there, our DNS servers are 154.0.1.1 & 154.0.1.10

We have on-net Google Caches to ensure that quick content delivery for things such as youtube
You will resolve to these CDN's if you use our DNS servers.
We also have Akamai, Apple, Valve and Netflix CDN's as well

When using other DNS servers, you may resolve to off-net/public CDN's that can be problematic at times.

You can also have youtube issues if you have any kind of issues with your line, such as packet loss.

My DNS hasn't been changed and remained as it was on the ZTE

Yeah it seems you are correct, one can't change it on the router.

Does it give you the option on the DHCP server at all?

Sorry, but not close to the router right now; maybe someone else can check.

I already searched every setting on this router & did not find any DNS settings.

Yeah then it should be automatically issued as default.

If there is performance issues, it could then be related to something else like packet loss, latency, etc.
You can also make sure your device itself has the DNS configured, or default.
You can also use something like

Ipconfig /all
|||or|||
nslookup google.com

to confirm what your DNS servers in use are

I have no performance issues at all. Just a nice-to-have to change the DNS on the router side.
So am I currently using Vodacom DNS servers or Cool Ideas DNS servers? As the router is my current DNS resolver.

Hmm so then I believe the DNS is managed by the CGNAT AR , which should use ours anyways.
As that 10.0.0.1 would just be your router gateway.

Yes it would be a nice to have but I guess the only other way is to set it on your device itself if you ever want to use something else
