Hello,

I have a big problem with this Router.

I changed the DNS Server to use a local DNS Server but after this action, the router was unusable.

The Network Connection was away on any device. It was the whole connection and not only the connection to the internet.

I was unable to ping the device by cmd and the LED on the top turned from blue to red.

 

So what is wrong with it?

Hello, what is the local DNS server you setup? 

 

Have you tried to use the original DNS server or change it to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4? Does it work properly? 

 

May I know why do you want to use the local DNS server? Any specific requests? 

 

Good day.

The problem is that the Router doesn't do anything after changing the DNS server. I can't change it back. I can just do a factory reset with the button on the router.
