Sep 25, 2025DNS and VPN have different functions, so Im all for using a VPN, changing your DNS will just make browsing safer/faster.

R£CKZ 🍉Use DHCP reservation instead

punpunYou can’t do that whit the modem that is provided by the provider company so you have to buy a your own modem or router to do that it might help with respond time but there will be no noticeable changes so it’s just waste of money
Creator
Sep 20, 2025Many of the devi Es from your ISP these days have this feature, it's pretty com. On. But of course not all
KanataI've been able to do with every provided modem I've ever got, but I can see some ISP's removing the feature.
SinirothDepends on the ISP, I can completely change whatever I want in my ISP provided modem
2
Ur MomI’ve done this with a major ISPs in Australia. They’re running non-standard firmware, but the DNS settings are still available if you look up the URL on the modem because all they do is hide it from the web interface (or just telnet if that’s available)

Sep 18, 2025Since around 1985

CervicheI had to look into this, I've always heard it called server, I was taught it was server in TAFE and school (early 2000s). It was server in workplaces. In fact until today I have never heard it called system. But google and chatgpt say it has always been system. This is definitely a Mandela effect.

catmanDoes this work with a mesh system as well ?
Creator
Sep 14, 2025Yeah, you set this at the modem/router end.
MendoMany of us use a modem/router combo. DNS settings are generally under the router settings from my experience. That’s where I am able to configure which DNS id like to setup. Just saying for those confused with you only saying modem.
Creator
Sep 13, 2025I confused a lot of people it seems. I just use the ISP supplied device as a modem only, as dhcp, dns and more is handled in my sepeate router.
realfrewik2I prefer changing dns in the router (which is handling dns) rather than in the modulator-demodulator (which isn't handling dns). How come you wanna change it in the modem, Sir? 🙃😁
Creator
Sep 14, 2025Some people dont ahve seperate modem/router/AP's, they have the one combo device from their ISP.

realfrewik2Then say router.
en.cryptoInteresting, how can I route different devices or at least network areas to use different dns?

Silas ClockworkI've got fiber. I don't have a modem.

🧀🌲you:🗿

Silas ClockworkI don't speak emoji, but I'm guessing you're being insulting, as is the nature of the Internet. Fiber runs to an Optical Network Terminal, which covers the signal from the fiber to Ethernet, which is then plugged directly into my primary router on my mesh network, and the connection is established through PPPoE credentials. None of that is a modem.

michael.tiktokMany service provider like comcast and soectrum don’t allow the modification of their DNS servers. Use your own modem/router. And use 9.9.9.9 and 1.0.0.2

Sep 12, 2025If you just turn of their wifi and disable dhcp on their device, then plug in your own router you can override their controls.

MrvmwareI have AD DNS I did used to use Cisco Umbrella but Cloudflares version isn’t too bad now I just use that it’s free

PanosGeorgiouWhat makes me sad its that people are not aware. For two decades, thats 20 years, I was using openDNS (free) to protect my household/kids even from social networks and now I also installed pi-hole. I am also using cloudflare to clients (.3) just as basic protection. The stuff if free for decades and people are still unaware.
Creator
Sep 12, 2025I know, I think that as soon as things get "technical" many people get overwhelmed by how and what and lack confidence to troubleshoot a break.

Sep 12, 2025The modem is the de vice that connects you to the ISP, these days it's a modem, router, wifi combo.

liam0202Literally everyone with WiFi? lol

mistermrhallModems (modulator/demodulators) translate digital signals to analog signals; typically over a telephone line aka dial-up. Given the analogue switch off (at least in the UK); there is no use of modems anymore. And typical home network WiFi/router combos do no mo-ing, or dem-ing

GooseThis has to be rage bait

mistermrhallYeah it is. People talking about modems in 2025 is rage inducing.
2
StatAvgNo if you have NBN, we have NTD boxes and only require routers now, FTTN is an exception
1
schrolock🐢honest question. is light digital or analog?
2
mistermrhallThere’s some element to your question which makes me think you know what’s coming next… with regards to modems and ONT for fiber, whilst they perform a similar function, an ONT is not a modem because fiber has no carrier wave
2
schrolock🐢still it's technically analog, though more like a bastardization of analog and digital and it's actually still called a modem where I'm from

Sep 24, 2025Same

🆅Changing your DNS is one of the best free upgrades for any home network. You're right that ISP defaults are often slow and lack features. For most people, I strongly recommend starting with a “DNS plus” service like Cloudflare for Families (1.1.1.3) or Quad9. They block malware and adult content by default without complex setup. It’s a set-and-forget improvement to both speed and security. For deeper control, NextDNS is the next logical step, letting you tailor filtering precisely. It’s a simple change that makes a real difference.

Sep 12, 2025yeah, I think they do, what does your fibre or copper connect to in the house from your isp?
OffWorldFilmsRouter, which isn’t a modem.
Creator
Sep 12, 2025A modem is what decoded/encodes the data from your ISP to you, the Router manages the internal routing. But again, now modems/routers are bundled.

BacanoMorenoGaming🇩🇴Thought i would ask before Spectrum sends their version of the FBI yo my home 😂. I have 1gig service with wifi7 router and have about 7 devices connected. The ones like phones & tablets, i want to place on permanent 2.4Ghz, & work laptop & gaming pc i want on 5Ghz. I was told that spectrum doesn’t offer continuous 2.4Ghz connection. Only 30mins. My ? Is, what can i do to get fast & better speeds on my gaming PC amidst other devices taking up valuable sources of the wifi? Hopes this makes sense. 😂
Creator
Sep 11, 20252.4Ghs is slower than 5ghz and LAN is always fastest. So Lan cable your PC's, mobiles on 5 and use 2.4 on a guest network and add others to that.
1
BacanoMorenoGaming🇩🇴So I’ve been told. 😞 my work station/gaming desk is about 20 - 30 feet away & on the other side of the wall from where the router is. I was thinking of doing a mesh network & using LAN that way. But for the wifi 7 mesh setup for 2 devices is insane. I also wouldn’t mind the long cord through the house, but i have 2 dogs that like to chew on things. Smh.
reisingfoenixu know that thing thats called wall? make a hole dude
BacanoMorenoGaming🇩🇴I was looking for an intelligent answer. Hole in a wall has been thought of. And wont happen. & the hole would be in a kitchen wall. So there’s that. 😒😒
reisingfoenixwhy u have the router in the kitchen😭
reisingfoenixu could still then if a whole u could cover with an outlet obviously, u could just do i little " canyon " (i forgot the word) around to the other side🤣 so hide it inside the wall
Creator
Sep 13, 2025Dowoad wifiman app, connect to the 2.4ghz and let it run, then see if there is packet loss after 30min. If not it's a great idea and one I was going to recommend in a video on device seperation for security.

Rikxian_van_HoutenBecause my isp modem wont allow setting dns to some internal one, i use my pihole which i installed on barebones debian on an old laptop i had laying around as both my dhcp server and DNS server and adblocker to protect me and my family against advertisements and a lot of malware and sketchy domains. I wish i could use my own router, but my isp also gave us some wifi extenders which only work with their modem and new wifi6 stuff is not cheap either (for now atleast)

Ted JonesI've been trying to set up pihole for a long time & couldn't get it to connect, coz I couldn't change the DNS in the iOS router. last weekend, I found a guide on how to setting up pihole via truenas & on an Asus router. it worked ok, but every time I turned off my VPN (to access my bank), it killed the connection. the VPN kill switch was not selected. I was looking for something totally different, but I found a raspi gathering dust, so I'm now using that for pihole & it's working a treat 👍
2
Creator
Sep 11, 2025That's great yiu got it working!
Ted Jonesfinally yes 🤦🤣 after watching loads of vids, it baffles me, how many different ways or location on routers & even naming structure, certain basic options are placed & even named. you would have thought, there would be an industry standard regarding this. it would make things so much easier for everyone, if they did.
Creator
Sep 11, 2025Tell me about it, it's just crazy
wowwon3I have pi-hole set up on my local server with a default DNS set to 1.1.1.1. Only annoying part is losing the server when I’m away and being unable to control my smart devices

Creator
Sep 11, 2025Get the devices on tailscale and you can access remotely?
22
wowwon3Well no if the server shuts off for whatever reason pi-hope is no longer reachable so all devices lose internet access
Creator
Sep 11, 2025Put the pi hard wired to your router, then it's not server reliant?
