Belkin ac1200 won't let me type in DNS fields...

October 13, 2015 00:02

I am logged in as administrator, I can find where to type in the dns addresses, the check box for obtaining the dns address automatically from the ISP is UNchecked... but I cannot type in the fields! I have tried it in different browsers in Linux and in Windows 10. No luck! Any ideas? Thanks!

It's possible that this might not be possible on this router. As a first step make sure that you using the latest firmware available for the router.

Even if you aren't able to change the DNS settings for the router itself you might be able to change them in the DHCP section where you configure how DHCP functions on your network.

Why do you post it here and don't refer to Belkin? OpenDNS don't supply routers...

I'm having the exact same problem with the same router. Did you ever find a solution? I tried going through Belkin's support to fix it, but they were no help.

If you cannot enter DNS resolver addresses on the router, then there is no solution. How could be it?

Instead of configuring on the router, configure on the end user devices.

I figured this same problem out. Go to the website filter in the router and turn off the website filter. Save the setting then you can edit the DNS page.

It appears Belkin's website filter is setup like opendns, although very VERY limited, so when you enable the website filter in the router it locks your DNS to their DNS to provide the filtering.
