Hey there,
I just got a new D-Link DIR-895L/LE to upgrade my old Billion 7800dx modem.
I have everything setup through DHCP, and the internet is working fine, I just can't seem to get alternative DNS's to stick.
I am using DNS4MEs DNS, but have also tried Cloudfare and OPENDNS. I enter the appropriate primary and secondary
DNS in SETTINGS – INTERNET – ADVANCED, save it. It appears on the home screen now listing my DNS,
but all tests on the respective sites come back as negative - and the router is using my ISP's DNS entries.
I have tested this through DNSLEAKTEST.COM and through OpenDNS/CloudFares testing web pages.
The Entries are entered correctly, it just doesn't seem to want to register and use them over my
ISP's DNS entries.
I'm using the latest Firmware, 1.21 and there are no updates according to settings. (DIR-895L HW:A3 FW:1.21)
Has anyone had any similar issue, and knows how to get the DNS to stick and work?
My old Billion was as simple as entering it in, saving and that was about it.
