Re: Movistar Fibre Router ... Smart DNS Configuration
Its simple to do, just log in to your router via http://192.168.1.1/ on a laptop PC etc using passkey on bottom of router where it says "config router" mine is 8 mixed numbers and letters....once in router go to menu top left then go to red Local, then to config Red Local then input your Smart DNS numbers where it say Servidor DNS1: and Servidor DNS2: then APPLY changes and Reboot router and all devices. As far as I recall thats it. But remember to go to SMART DNS website to Update your IP

Re: Movistar Fibre Router ... Smart DNS Configuration
They obviously have.... Whilst there is no obvious badging for the manufacturer, when I dig down to the configuration settings It shows its a Mitrastar Router. Alas no obvious type identifier. The Movistar Router looks nothing like the two fibre routers showing on the Mitrastar web site
From what I can make out the DNS addresses only seem to apply to IPs start 192.168.1.200 and Finish 192.168.1.233. Which for the smart TV is ok because that's locked at 192.168.1.200 but the other devices are dynamic around the 192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.199

Re: Movistar Fibre Router ... Smart DNS Configuration
Looking at Movistar website they show they also use the Mitrastar HGW-2501GN-R2. Maybe download the User Manual in English and have a read

Re: Movistar Fibre Router ... Smart DNS Configuration
Normally movistar fibre routers look exactly the same despite being differing makes. If I remember correctly I heard that someone else (not on this forum) had problems configuring their Mitrastar router, and couldn't find a way to change the DNS on it, the Askey is a piece of cake. in the end they tacked a second router (Netgear) on and configured it with the DNS successfully.
