FWA505, changing DNS settings

Amrepl

I set up Google's DNS servers in FWA505 > Network Setting > Home Networking > LAN Setup > DNS Values and Broadband>ETHWAN. I only connect via Wi-Fi and use IPv4. However, the DNS shown on the home page in the Cellular Info tab belongs to my internet provider. How can I change this?

Hi @Amrepl,

Welcome to the Zyxel Community!

The behavior you're observing where the Cellular Info tab displays your ISP's DNS, despite your configurations, is expected. The Cellular Info tab shows the DNS server obtained directly from the cellular network, which the FWA505 uses for its internal operations and cellular-related services. This display does not mean that your configured Google DNS servers are not being used by devices connected to your FWA505. To check whether clients are using the dedicated DNS 8.8.8.8, please run ipconfig /all in Command Prompt on a Windows PC. It will display the DNS server the client is using.
