This page explains how to change the DNS settings on the HG659 modem.

We would generally recommend you use the default DNS settings with your One NZ broadband connection and only change your DNS configuration if you have a particular need to.

• Note: Because of the limitations on some mobile browsers, it is best to use a computer rather than a phone or tablet to change the configuration.
• After changing your DNS settings, you may need to reboot your computer.
