Do folks alter the DNS on their router as I was told it a good idea to set it to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 But I don't really think it needed|?

It's something people to to protect themselves in the event that there's an issue with your ISPs DNS which it will be using if you don't change it. Absolutely no reason to use anything else if you don't have an issue as far as I know. 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 are just Google ran DNS.

The Amazon outage was caused by DNS and it was a tag line from someone.

Quad 9 (9.9.9.9) is recommended. Some are privacy based, other blocks ads. Just depends what type of DNS you want.

I use AdGuard DNS, if for whatever reason I can't then Cloudflare DNS 1.1.1.1

9.9.9.9 / 149.112.112.112 - Malware Blocking, DNSSEC Validation (this is the most typical configuration)

I only use those for boot thought, as I use DNS over HTTPS for all my lookups which is https://dns.quad9.net/dns-query

Rooky007 · 2025-10-28T20:27:41+0000

so these ok to put in to the Netgear router configuration
