How to setup Smart DNS on DD-WRT Router

On a phone or computer connected to the router you are configuring - follow the steps below:

Step 1:

Open your browser and visit 192.168.1.1 OR 192.168.0.1 OR 192.168.2.1  (Exact address may differ - Check the sticker on the router itself to confirm)

Fill in Preferred DNS and Secondary DNS with the following:

  • Preferred DNS: 66.33.68.1

Step 5:

Go to Services -> Services -> Services Management -> DNSMasq -> Additional DNSMasq Options and enter the following command into the text box: -strict-order

Step 6:

Save the configuration and restart your router if it did not do so automatically.
