Q. Why does Vigor router ignore the specified internal DNS servers and always send the ISP's DNS servers to its DHCP clients?


With the old firmware, the DNS servers assigned by ISP will have a higher priority than those manually specified in the DHCP configuration of Vigor router. To make the specified DNS servers come into force, a telnet command " srv dhcp frcdnsmanl on " is necessary.

But with the latest released firmware of some models, including Vigor2900 series / Vigor2900V series / Vigor2500 series / Vigor2600G series / Vigor2600V series etc, that telnet command is no longer needed. Router will automatically assign the specified DNS server to the DHCP clients.
