Using a manual DNS R1

[Funkybadger]

I want to use the google dns server but what I don’t understand is do I enter them in the WAN section by turning off automatic dns or do I enter them in the lan section where it says automatic DNS or both

set dns in lan.

Just a suggestion. You may want to try 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1 (Cloudfare)

Sorry don't mean to hijack but what are the benefits of changing the dns does it help with gaming or is it something else

It can help to resolve websites a little quicker and in some cases more secure than an ISP's, it has no gaming benefits.

Ok thanks

I switched to Cloudflare DNS just because I was curious about the benefits. Did some benches and I have a lower DNS latency of around 5ms to 10ms and very speedy website response. Good recommendation.
