How to change DNS server on a Huawei B535-232 router
Step 1: Log into the router
Enter http://192.168.1.1/ in the address bar of your browser to access the router’s administration interface. You must be connected to the router via Wi-Fi or cable to be able to change settings.
Step 2: Go to the DHCP settings
First, click on “Advanced” in the top menu. Secondly, click on “Router” in the menu at the left side, and select “DHCP” in the submenu (selected by default).
Step 3: Access the command line in your browser
How to access the command line depends on your browser.

$('#dhcp_dns').show();The router’s administration interface for DHCP will now include an option to specify a DNS server of your choice. If necessary, close the command line window to return to the administration interface in full size.
Step 5: Specify the IP address of a DNS server
Click the check box next to “Set up the DNS server manually”.
Enter an IP address of a DNS server in the field “Primary DNS server”. It is not mandatory to enter a secondary IP address, but many providers also provide a secondary IP address in case of server or network problems.
Finally, save the settings.
Some fast stable public DNS servers are:
Primary server: 1.1.1.1
Secondary server: 1.0.0.1
Primary server: 9.9.9.9
Secondary server: 149.112.112.112
Step 6: Reboot the router
Reboot the router by clicking the reboot icon at the top. It takes approx. a few minutes and all connected devices will briefly lose the connection. The router now uses your chosen DNS server.
