wils1337 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Hi TeamWhen I set a DNS in WAN or LAN then run DNS Bench or checking in ipconfig /all. IP of the DUMA is all that is shown (192.168.88.1)Is this correct with it using the set DNS in the back ground or am I missing something?In your opinion are there any real gains to be made messing with the DNS, out side of leaving it on auto?

AFAIK seeing your default gateway (192.168.88.1 in the R1's case) is another way of saying you're using your ISP's default DNS. If it's saying 1ms for that you're probably best off on auto I ran a Google Benchmark once and my default gateway was best, while another of my ISP's DNS servers (apparently they have dozens according to Google searches) was second fastest.

Type ip chicken in google and it will come up if you don't know what it is. Netduma Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
