said by bfreas:Is there a way to change servers in the router?
Yes.
#1 Go to the current LAN IP of the router with your web browser. Default LAN IP is 192.168.1.1
#2 Log-in as need be. No User name and password is admin by default, if I recall correctly.
#3 Say ok to the alert that, this will disable Cisco Connect (or what ever that Desktop tool is called).
#4 In the router at
Setup -> Basic Setup, you will notice Static DNS. For example Static DNS 1.
#5 In the Static DNS field(s), type in the DNS Servers that you want to use.
#6 Save/Apply your settings.

Since this router is not running third party firmware like DD-WRT OR Tomato, yes.
DD-WRT and Tomato fimware are not only example(s) of Third party firmware, they are also firmware where you can prevent users from using any other DNS Server(s) outside of your network - other than ones that you listed in your router.
Please note - I am
NOT saying that:
#1 Your router can run third party firmware.
#2 You should consider installing and using third party firmware for your router.
#3 What third party firmware to use.

** If your router can support third party firmware: That would be up to you which one to use and before installing you can ask what people what they think. **

#4 That only DD-WRT and Tomato are the only third party firmware(s) with a feature that can prevent users from using any other DNS Server(s) that are outside of your network - other than ones that you listed in your router.
said by bfreas: What's your recommendations for DNS?
#1 I am not sure of what you mean, but in the meantime as I wait for your reply to tell me what you meant: I can recommend something to you.
I would recommend using the tool that is addressed on »
www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm#2 Did you mean use a DNS Server:
a) Outside of your network (Like OpenDNS) ?
b) Your own DNS Server (like Treewalk, DNS Bind) that is not outside of your network ?
