Change DNS server in the Fritzbox - how it works
You can change the standard DNS server in your Fritzbox. This way, requests to the Internet are processed by a server other than that of your provider.
Change the standard DNS server in the Fritzbox
By changing your DNS server, requests to addresses on the Internet are processed on another server. This enables you to receive changes in the address of websites more quickly, for example.
- Open the configuration page of your Fritzbox. In another practical tip, we will show you in more detail how you can access the Fritzbox user interface. If you have created access data for your Fritzbox, enter it first.
- In the left menu of the Fritzbox website, click on "Internet" and then on "Access data".
- Now select the tab "DNS server".
- By clicking on "Use other DNSv4 servers" you can enter your own DNS server and your own alternative DNS server. You save the changes by clicking on "Apply".
- Note: If you have problems reaching websites in general, the Google DNS servers are a good choice. You can do this by setting the DNS server to "8.8.8.8." and the alternative DNS server on "8.8.4.4." put. You then query all websites on the Internet via the Google server. They are always online and take over changes to addresses on the Internet very quickly.
