Freely Selectable DNS Servers
DNS servers are preset in the FRITZ!Box for IPv4 and IPv6.
These are the DNS servers assigned by the Internet service
provider.
For both IPv4 and IPv6, the preset DNS server can be replaced
by a free DNS server. Free DNS servers include, for instance,
OpenDNS and Google DNS.
Here is how to change the DNS server entry:
The “DNSv6” page is displayed only if you enabled IPv6 sup-
port for the FRITZ!Box on the “IPv6” page.
1.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
2.
Enable the advanced view.
3.
In the “Internet / Account Information” menu, select the
“DNS Server” page.
4.
Change the settings for the DNS servers.
