The traditional services dont seem to fit as you cant log into settings on the TV to change the DNS settings, but can it just be changed on the router anyway? Unsure... Im a newb with this.

ajc153: Hi thanks for the links, that interface they are presenting is last years, the software I have is completely different. You dont have the option to modify or even see the DNS setting. 


I have set up static DNS on my new 2015 Samsung telly. This is how:

1. Temporarily disable DHCP in in your router. (or if you are using wired network and have a separate switch unplug the LAN port on the router)

2. go to network set up

3. Telly will report unable to connect to internet an ask if you want to do manual set up

4. go into manual IP setup (any time after this you can plug your router back in)

5. leave IP address as DHCP (if you want to)

6. Change DNS to static and enter unotelly DNS server

7 Save and done

If you are using a wired connection (I am) you must have the cable connected to something in order for it to begin the setup.
