Re: VZ's redirect page for DNS

Thanks for the reply. I couldn't find anywhere in the router mgmt to do what you suggest with the 'Use This Address'. Can you give more specific instructions?
Log in to the Actiontec, click on My Network icon, click on Network Connections menu item.

Depending on which one is active for you, click on Broadband Connection (Ethernet) or (Coax).

Properties page will show current DNS servers. Write down the addresses displayed there. If you are getting the VZ redirected DNS, you will see the addresses ending in .12

Click on Settings button at bottom. In DNS Server, select from the drop-down "Use the Following DNS Server Addresses". Page will then show where you can enter primary and secondary DNS addresses just below.

Enter the addresses you wrote down a minute ago, except make the last octet .14

Click Apply at the bottom, and maybe again if asked. Your router will reconfigure.

You know the settings are right if you go back in and the Broadband properties page shows the DNS ending in .14

Your speedtest results are consistent for 10/2, so it looks like you're good to go. Yay!

Finally got around to this. The directions were spot-on and all seems good!
71.242.0.14
68.237.161.14
Odd things - a random, nonesense URL now auto-searches google. A random number (i.e. 452321441.com URL auto-searches OpenDNS. It could be other settings in my home LAN doing that, I guess, but not bothered enough to hunt it down.
Cheers!
