Title: Custom DNS Server
Post by: JesseD on January 21, 2015, 10:24:27 am

So Im a little new to configuring routers but......

So far I love my Almond.  Although I look forward to a firmware that has the automation done and solid wifi speeds, Im happy with the Almond.
Prior to almond, I had a netgear router in a Windows Serer 2012 environment.  This server is set up as the DNS server.  On my netgear router, I had the DNS server pointing to my server ( 192.168.1.16 ) and a secondary pointing to google ( 8.8.8.8 ) just in case my server goes down.
I wanted to do the same with the Almond now.  The only place I could find this is in OPENWRT.  There is a CUSTOME DNS SERVER field here but when I added the ip addresses as noted above, it freaked.  My N Wireless was disabled and it was acting weird.  So I had to reboot.

An I making the changes in the right place or am I just crazy

Hi....

Try following steps.

 Connect you Almond+ with PC
 open explorer type "http://x.x.x.x(almond IP):/cgi-bin/luci/;stok=6aacc0d0aee1bbc5ca359433b802407e/admin/network/wan/"
 Uncheck "use DNS servers advertised by peer"
 Provide DNS IP address
Or
  Connect you Almond+ with PC, open explorer
    type http://x.x.x.x(almond IP):90/cgi-bin/luci/;stok=6aacc0d0aee1bbc5ca359433b802407e/admin/network/network/lan
    Click Advance settings
    Go to DHCP server tab(at the bottom of the page)
    Edit DHCP-Option box.
    with 6,X.X.X.X(your DNS IP address)
If both not working then contact to Customer Support to set up call with engineers to troubleshoot your problem.
