Configuration Guide How to Configure Local DNS Server on Omada Router
Background:
This post provides a configuration guide on configuring the local DNS server in standalone mode.
This Article Applies to:
Omada routers with LAN DNS capability.
Configuration Steps:
1. Log in to your router by 192.168.0.1(default gateway IP).
2. Go to Network > LAN > LAN DNS. Click Add.
2. Create a DNS entry. Note that this DNS entry may apply to a single network or all of your VLAN interfaces.
Verification:
Open Command Prompt:
In this case, we are using .local and .com. You may use other suffixes.
In this case, the DNS server is 192.168.0.1. The resolution is 192.168.0.1. It is displayed as such.
Enter the domain names:
Note:
1. Configuration steps for Controller mode are similar.
2. Please note that this will involve an adapted firmware, not just a controller update. Firmware development is a complex process, and timelines may change. Therefore, we cannot provide a specific release date at this time. Please stay tuned to future firmware release notes for updates.
3. When introducing a feature like this, we typically apply it uniformly across all models to ensure consistency and a seamless user experience.
However, it's essential to acknowledge that hardware limitations may exist, which might prevent us from adding the feature to certain models. In such cases, we cannot provide individual notifications explaining the reason. Please note that we cannot guarantee the fulfillment of all requests, and we must set clear expectations upfront.
4. When the Type is IP/CNAME, wildcard * is supported. For example, "*.
tplink.com" means that all domain names containing ".tplink.com" are supported, but such as "tplink.*.com" or "tplink.com.*” are not supported.
5. Please make sure your DNS server IP is the router's LAN IP. Or this Local DNS server(LAN DNS) configuration is not effective.
6. VPN would be effective for the local DNS configuration. Make sure you have configured the VPN server DNS as the router's LAN IP.

Hi Clive. Thanks for the quick answer. Unfortunaltely, neither of my omada Controller have that option "LAN DNS":
If the a Router Omada is not adopted, will this option be invisible?
Is it mandatory to have a specific Router FW to make it visible?
5.15.8.2 - Has an ER8411 V1 disconnected at present momment.
5.15.20.26 - Has an ER8411 V1 connected and working at present momment.
Both ER8411 have FW 1.2.3.
Thanks for your help.
Hi @PortuLink
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
Correct. As written in the applied models and note.
Currently, ER7206 V2 supports it. Only when your model supports it, you have the option to config. Controller after 5.15.20.11 has supported LAN DNS configuration in Controller mode. See the release note.
