HOW TO CONFIGURE DNS SERVER IN YOUR MODEM OR ROUTER

As I mentioned earlier in one of my previous posts regarding DNS servers, and the advantage of having a good DNS server like opendns(Example: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220). Today, I thought I'll post on how exactly you go about changing it in your modem or router. If you change your DNS servers in your modem or router, then you do not have to configure anything on any computer connected to the modem or router should, as it will get the same DNS servers which are on the modem or router by default.

Setting up DNS servers are almost same for all modems or routers, the key to it is just logging in to your modem or router and going to the DNS tab and setting it up properly. I'm posting ways to do it on 4 different routers so if you read them carefully you should be able to understand how to do it in your own router in case you have a different one.
