Changing Your DNS Settings

Released On: 2019-07-10 16:45:56Last update time: 2023-12-01 17:42:47

In certain network environments, users may need to configure a particular DNS address for their network. This article aims to guide you to change the DNS server settings on your Deco system.

 

Before configuring the DNS:

1. Have the latest Deco app installed on your smart phone by visiting the app store to check.

2. Make sure your smart phone is connected to Deco's Wi-Fi network.

3. Close the Deco App if it is already running in the background.

4. Re-launch the Deco App.

Please note: Only when your mobile phone is connected to Deco's Wi-Fi network, can you change the DNS settings through the Deco app. Forcing the Deco app to close in the background and re-launch it again aims to clear the app cache.

 

Changing the DNS server settings

1. Tap “More” on the bottom right corner, then click on “Advanced” -> “IPv4”.

Hi Rachel,

 

I know this is very old but someone (like me) might arrive on this page.

Just wanted to say one thing, probably not necessary, but never know?

 

1. Great instructions, perfect.  I have done this a few times.

 

2. My Point: This is for Windows (I use W10 Pro x64), probably almost

the same on any supported windows version.

 

For those reading, I guess it's different on say, Linux. Ah, People who use

Linux are usually very knowledable about all things OS.

 

Probably useless post, but I'll leave it here just in case.

Finally thanks again, Rachel. You probably helped a lot of folks because

there are no posts after yours!

 

Well, accept mine which is not very useful..

Networking, LAN, WAN, Wireless, Ethernet is FUN...When it works first time!!

I need to turn off my IPv6 but no matter where I go I cannot log into to link to get to where I need to go to turn it off do yall know anything that I can do ?
