Huawei B535 Router - Manual DNS Issue

Member
Hello,

Hoping some kind person can help me out.

I have a Huawei B535, connected to Three network (Ireland).

I also have smartproxydns, which I use to access UK TV apps from Ireland....now if I use this dns server on devices it generally works (enter manual dns on Apple TV or Firestick).

However I wanted to set it up on the router, so all devices can access UK services without being setup manually each time.

The only place in the router settings where it seems to allow me to enter a manual dns is under ethernet settings. Is this the right place to enter it? As I am not using the ethernet port in the router.

When I enter the smart dns settings on the ethernet screen, it does not work, and UK services do not work.

You can see my settings attached.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you get this device from Three?

it seems you have a network customised version of the router - the DNS setting for mobile networks is only available if made available by the device provider.

Look under Advanced | Router | DHCP, if you cant see it you need to type the below command in the browser console (Press F12 and click on console) to view it.

$('#dhcp_dns').show();

Hello robineyre, did you have any joy with your problem ?. I have the same problem so I might be returning the router to Three.
Any suggestions?
 
I believe the settings under Ethernet only apply if you're using the LAN/WAN port as a WAN port - i.e. connecting via another modem rather than using the B535's 4G.

If you want to change the DNS server for 4G you need to do a bit of a hack as the UI doesn't show the fields by default. I've tried the following on a B618s and it works OK, so worth a try:

Change DNS server
 
Hmm, scratch that - it doesn't work on my B818 which has the "new" UI like on the B535. Good news is there's an older thread on this forum that shows the correct HTML to enter and I've verified it works. You just need to use the following single line instead of the 3 in the above instructions (and don't forget to hit ENTER!):

$('#dhcp_dns').show();

For some reason I can;t find the directions you posted to change the DNS using Chrome, Could you post it again please,
Thank you
