How to set manual DNS addresses
The Bright Box router is set to automatically obtain the Domain Name Server (DNS) IP
address from EE broadband when establishing an Internet connection. The DNS server
translates Internet names and URL’s to IP addresses in order to display web pages or other
Internet services.
It is possible to override the default ‘Obtain from ISP’ configuration for DNS settings and
enter custom DNS addresses. To do this:
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Basic Set-Up tab.
3.
In the ‘DNS IP Address’ dropdown, select the ‘Manual’ option.
4.
In the ‘Primary DNS’ field, enter the Primary IP address of your DNS server (for example
the Primary Google DNS IP address is ‘8.8.8.8’)
5.
In the ‘Secondary DNS’ field enter the Secondary IP address of your DNS server (for
example the Secondary Google DNS IP address is ‘8.8.4.4’)
6.
Click Save Settings:
7.
You'll be prompted that the router is 'applying changes':
8.
You can confirm that the DNS settings have been changed by clicking on the status tab.
The ‘Primary DNS’ and ‘Secondary DNS’ fields will display the new DNS IP addresses:

addresses, click on the Basic Set-Up tab. In the ‘DNS IP Address’ dropdown, select ‘Obtain
from ISP’ and click the Save Settings button:
MIGRATION WIZARD
This page allows you to easily migrate your Broadband service from EE ADSL to EE Fibre
broadband or vice-versa. The page also displays the current default Broadband Type (either
ADSL or Fibre/Ethernet).
For ADSL customers migrating to the EE Fibre broadband service, the Migration Wizard may
need to be run after the BT engineer has installed your Fibre modem in your home
Running the Migration Wizard will set the router to the correct Broadband Settings for the
broadband service you want to use at home. During the Migration Wizard process, the router
will be restarted.
Please note that only the Broadband Settings on your router will be changed when running
the wizard, any other settings you may have configured (Wireless Settings, Advanced Settings
etc) will be kept as they were previously. When running the wizard it may take up to 5
minutes for us to automatically configure your router for the correct broadband service.
If you factory reset your router at any stage the router will be set back to the connection
type previously displayed in the ‘Your router is currently set to the default Broadband Type:’
field. You can use the Migration Wizard to change your default Broadband Type if you need
to.
