Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.20.6 Build 20250416 Rel.58007

So I have setup our LAN DCHP to point to our inhouse DNS server which is at 172.20.10.7

however clients connecting are getting configured with three DNS servers.

172.20.10.7 which is correct

8.8.8.8 which is Google's public server

172.20.8.1 which is our Gateway

 

Where are these other servers coming from and how do I configure things so the only DNS server they get is the one I specify.

 

Thanks

I have the exact same config. a dns that points to a singel local dns server. I only get one DNS server, which type router do you have? and what does the ip config say about the dhcp server, is it the same ip as the router?

Router is a TP-Link ER706W ip: 172.20.8.1

IP Config shows DCHP correctly as 172.20.8.1

 

Turns out I'm also having problems with some clients accessing the internet even though their settings are correct.

 

Only difference in the original router (a Dlink DSR-1000AC) which I'm replacing with this one is that on the Dlink router I was able to set the DNS Server on the WAN port to our internal DNS server. The TP-Link won't let me do that. Not that it should make any different because the clients should only be pulling from the network DNS server.

I thought it seemed very strange, the dhcp server should not give out more dns servers than you have specified in the dhcp server. Does this apply to all clients or is it only on a single pc?

Hi  @ScottGK 

 

Does the issue persist? 

Does this apply to all clients or is it only on a single pc?
