Why is my DNS showing as 192.168.11.1 on my devices?

· ·

When connected to a FlashRouter’s network the DNS settings of the devices will be reporting as 192.168.11.1. This means that the router is handling DNS internally through the servers you have set in the Setup > Basic Setup section of the router. If you did not set any custom DNS here, then you will using your ISP or VPN DNS servers automatically.

You can always customize the DNS servers in the router to your preferred servers and through DNSmasq the router will use 192.168.11.1 to route these servers to your connected devices.

In some instances disabling DNSMasq in the DD-WRT settings can help unblock previously blocked websites while connected to VPN. This will force devices to report the DNS servers set in the router directly as opposed to 192.168.11.1.

Disabling DNSMasq is not recommended unless FlashRouters specifically advises you but we have seen this work for certain VPN providers. To disable the DNSMasq do the following.

Navigate to Setup > Basic Setup

Disable DNSMaq Settings
  1. Uncheck Use DNSMasq for DHCP.
  2. Uncheck Use DNSMasq for DNS.
  3. Uncheck DHCP-Authoritative.
  4. Click Save.

Navigate to Services > Services

Disable DNSMaq Settings 2
  1. Set DNSMasq to Disable.
  2. Click Apply Settings.
  3. Reboot router.

PPPoE Internet Setup

· ·

Most ISPs do not require PPPoE credentials. If you are certain this is an ISP requirement in your setup, we kindly ask that you get in touch with your ISP to verify that they do in fact require PPPoE authentication and to provide you with the correct credentials to enter into your FlashRouter.

Before you enter your PPPoE credentials, you should have already setup your FlashRouter in a Single Router Setup with correct wiring. Once you enter PPPoE credentials you should then be able to connect to the internet.

If you are using a Dual Router Setup there is no need to enter PPPoE credentials if they are already entered in the existing router. You can disregard this article.

Enter your PPPoE credentials

DD-WRT Firmware

Navigate to Setup > Basic Setup

Access FlashRouters DD-WRT Admin Settings - Enter PPPOE Username and Password
  1. Set the Connection Type dropdown to PPPoE.
  2. Enter your ISP assigned PPPoE username and password.
  3. Click Apply Settings.

Power cycle your network devices

  1. Power off your ISP modem and the FlashRouter.
  2. Power on the ISP modem and wait for it to fully boot up.
  3. Power on the FlashRouter.

Verify a successful Internet connection

Once the FlashRouter is booted up connect one of your devices to the FlashRouter via Ethernet or Wireless.

Visit any website and make sure the page fully loads. Once you have verified a successful Internet connection, begin connecting your network devices to the FlashRouter via wired or WiFi.

Please be aware that our support is not able to replicate PPPoE issues on our end, which makes them challenging to troubleshoot. In the event of an issue we recommend using a Dual Router Setup.

IPv6 Internet Setup

· ·

Most ISPs only support IPv4. Unless your ISP supports IPv6 then enabling it on the FlashRouter will not enable it across your network.

For most VPN users IPv6 should remain disabled as the VPN connection was designed to operate under IPv4 addresses only. Enabling IPv6 in this instance may compromise the security of the VPN tunnel.

We typically only recommend enabling IPv6 if you are not using VPN or if your VPN provider requires that IPv6 be enabled.

Enable IPv6

Navigate to Setup > IPv6

Access FlashRouters DD-WRT Admin Settings and Disable Remote Access
  1. Set IPv6 to Enable.
  2. Select Native IPv6 from ISP in the dropdown.
  3. If you have specific IPv6 DNS servers you would like to add you can add them in the Static DNS fields or leave those fields blank.
  4. Click Apply Settings.

Power cycle your FlashRouter

Power your FlashRouter off and then power it back on by unplugging and then plugging it back in or using the button on the back of the FlashRouter.

Verify a successful IPv6 connection

Once the FlashRouter is finished powering back up, connect one of your devices to the FlashRouter via Ethernet or Wireless.

Visit  http://ipv6-test.com/ where you should see Supported under IPv6 connectivity if your ISP supports IPv6 and your modem is setup to passthrough IPv6.

Please be aware that we can not replicate ISP specific IPv6 issues, which makes them challenging to troubleshoot. We recommend contacting your ISP as the first step of troubleshooting.

DNS Setup for DD-WRT FlashRouters

· ·

The Domain Name System (DNS) is the phonebook of the Internet. DNS resolves website domain names (www.website.com) to IP Addresses so you don’t have to remember the IP Address of every site you visit.

We setup each FlashRouter with Google DNS (8.8.8.8 , 8.8.4.4) and/or OpenDNS (208.67.220.220 , 208.67.222.222) to prevent your ISP DNS from leaking when connected to the FlashRouter.

By using a trusted DNS server like those listed below, or from your trusted VPN service provider, you can prevent ISP’S from compiling your browsing data and selling it to third parties without your consent.

Recommended DNS servers

GoogleDNS

Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8

Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4

OpenDNS

Primary DNS: 208.67.220.220

Secondary DNS: 208.67.222.222

Cloudfare

Primary DNS: 1.1.1.1

Secondary DNS: 1.0.0.1

Level 3

Primary DNS: 209.244.0.3

Secondary DNS: 209.244.0.4

How to change the DNS on your FlashRouter

We preset each FlashRouter with GoogleDNS and OpenDNS so there is no need to change the DNS servers unless you have reset the FlashRouter or want to use different DNS servers.

Navigate to Setup > Basic Setup

DNS Setup on DD-WRT FlashRouters
  1. Scroll down to Network Address Server Settings (DHCP).
  2. Enter in any combination of valid DNS servers into Statict DNS fields 1, 2, and 3.
  3. Click Apply Settings at the bottom of the page.
  4. Power cycle your FlashRouter off and back on.

DNS Leak Test

We recommend checking to see if your DNS is leaking when using VPN.

How do I set a Static IP for my device in DD-WRT?

· ·

It can be very useful to setup static local IP addresses for devices on your FlashRouter network. By assigning specific IP’s to specific devices you can better control and manage how your network and the internet interacts with each device.

Once you setup a static IP you can set access restrictions, monitor and control bandwidth, as well as bypass a router VPN connection or setup a device specific Kill Switch. Without a static IP assignment you may lose device specific settings when the DHCP lease to the router expires.

Navigate to Services > Services

Set Static IP by Device MAC Address in FlashRouter DD-WRT Settings
  1. Under Static Leases click Add once.
  2. Fill in the newly appeared fields.
    • MAC Address: Enter the device’s MAC address which can be found on the device itself or on the Status > LAN page.
    • Hostame: Enter a name for the device. Make sure that there are no spaces.
    • IP Address: Enter the desired static IP Address of the device. It should be on the same subnet as the FlashRouter (192.168.11.x)
    • Client Lease Time: Leave this field blank.
  3. Click Apply Settings
  4. Repeat the steps above for each individual static IP address you would like to setup. If you click Add before clicking Apply Settings you will lose the configuration.

If a device has wireless and ethernet capabilities the MAC Addresses will be different for a wireless connection and an ethernet connection. Make sure to set a static IP for both MAC Addresses in this case.

How do I schedule a reboot of my FlashRouter?

· ·

Schedule a reboot of the FlashRouter to restart your connection. A reboot of your network can help with stability and prevent the connection from slowing down over time.

Navigate to Administration > Keep Alive

Schedule a Reboot in FlashRouter DD-WRT Settings
  1. Enable Schedule Reboot.
  2. Select At a Set Time, and select the time of the day and day of the week you wish to schedule your reboot.
  3. Click Apply Settings.

How do I change the DHCP range of my FlashRouter?

· ·

Whenever a device joins the FlashRouter network via wired or WiFi connection the DHCP server on the router gives out a local IP address to each device so all these devices can interact on your local network.

Increase the DHCP range to allow more users to automatically be assigned an IP address or decrease the DHCP range to limit the users that are automatically assigned an IP address.

Navigate to Setup > Basic Setup

Change DHCP Range in FlashRouter DD-WRT Settings
  1. Under Network Address Server Settings (DHCP) change the Maximum DHCP Users to your preferred value.
  2. You can edit the Start IP Address to 2 and Maximum DHCP Users to 254 for the most available slots.
  3. Click Apply Settings.

Why is my Time Zone set to Europe/Berlin?

· ·

Europe/Berlin is the default Time Zone setting for DD-WRT firmware.

To change this to your location’s actual Time Zone do the following.

Navigate to Setup > Basic Setup

Select your actual Time Zone from the dropdown field. Leave the Server IP/Name field blank.

CLICK APPLY SETTINGS

The network may reboot for a moment. Simply reconnect when it is back up.

Disabling the NTP Client setting will result in the VPN connection not working so we ask that you please leave it enabled at all times.
