I bought a new DSL-2740B and I am having a hard time connecting to some sites. At the bottom of the browser it says connecting to...
I added the dns addresses to the router, but still the same problem. I change the router by an older one, and everything works fine.
Any clues about what could be wrong?
-
Is there anything called DNS relay option anywhere in the settings?
Is the PCs network settings set up for automatic obtain addressing?
-
Yes
Yes
-
Any other solutions? What is the best firmware for this router?
-
Any Advanced DNS Service option on this modem? I know stand alone routers have this, not sure about the modems. Turn if OFF if you have this option.
What browser are you using?
Try Opera or FF? If IE 8 or 9, set compatibility mode and test again.

I was using Firefox. I think I will get it back to the store :(

Sorry to dig up this post but I just realize why I had so much DNS issues...
Did anyone tried one of the latest firmwares to check if this bug still exist ? I'm on 5.16 and saw a 5.17 and a beta one but I don't want to erase my config because I'm not sure of my ISP password xD

I recommend that you acquire your ISP account and PW information then do a factory reset and update FW then factory reset once more then set up the modem. Get your ISP info first though.
