Hi 

 

I use deco as a mesh router at home connected to my Sky modem in Ireland. 

 

When connected to my deco network my devices think I am in England. 

All the webpages I use direct me to UK websites instead of Irish ones. 

I can not listen to Irish radio stations on my Google devices because it believes I am in the UK. 

 

When I forget my deco network and connect directly to the sky modem WiFi I have no such problems. 

It recognises I am in Ireland. 

 

I do not use VPNs. 

Is the Deco giving me a foreign IP addresses? 

How would this happen? 

How can I stop it happening? 

 

This has only recently become a problem and have been using the Deco for a number of years without issue.

Hi

 

You may change the WAN DNS on the Deco to be the same as Sky modem router:
