Specify DNS settings

How can I access my KVD21 gateway to specify the DNS settings and some other network settings?

    @ccnoyes, you will find that your gateway has limited adjustment capability. The gateway will use TMs DNS settings and is not adjustable. If you want more adjustment capability, you will need to do it like some of us and add a Wi-Fi router with many adjustments. I have the Eero 6+, which has plenty of adjustments to include DNS. I leave it in bridge mode and act as a pass-through for my gateway (Sagemcom) to avoid double NAT. 

     You can also change the DNS settings on your individual device (Mac, Linux, PC), which will override the gateway settings. 

    I hope this helps.
