I have NETGEAR JWNR2010v3 Router and I have configured it to static IP provided by the ISP. I have configured the preferred and alternate DNS servers provided by the ISP into the router.
When I connect my computer to the router, the IP Address it gets for "Preferred DNS server" and "Alternate DNS server" is the router's own IP Address i.e. 192.168.1.1 rather the ones that I have configured into the router.
This causes problems, that when I connect the internet works, but after a few hours of idle, when I try to browse, I have to restart the router or apply the settings again and reconnect.
I can enter those IP Address values for preferred and alternate dns servers manually on the computer, but that is not the way, every computer I connect, I will have to do that.
Is there any solution for this?
Edit the DHCP server settings in the Netgear and add the DNS server you want the clients to receive there. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-07-28T13:55:36.123
There are no DHCP server settings in the router, the only thing that is there is in the picture I have attached. – teenup – 2014-07-28T14:07:12.260
192.168.1.1 would allow the router to handle the DNS not the client. Which by the sounds of it is exactly what you want. If thats not what you want configured the DNS on the client also. – Ramhound – 2014-07-28T14:10:41.653
If I try checking the "Domain Name Server (DNS) Address" radio box, it is ignored completely - I can't even enter anything! – Michael – 2016-12-26T10:14:14.967
