🌐 What Is AdGuard DNS?

AdGuard DNS is a free, privacy-focused DNS resolver that blocks ads, trackers, and malicious domains at the network level. Unlike browser extensions, it works across every app and browser on your device — including streaming players and embedded iframes.

Configuring DNS on your router protects every device on the network — phones, laptops, smart TVs, game consoles — without changing settings on each one.

General Steps

1. Open your browser and go to your router's admin panel. Common addresses:
   192.168.0.1 · 192.168.1.1 · 10.0.0.1
2. Log in with your admin credentials (check the sticker on your router if unsure).
3. Find the DNS, DHCP, or Internet/WAN settings page.
4. Replace the DNS server fields with:
   Primary: 94.140.14.14
   Secondary: 94.140.15.15
5. Save the settings and reboot the router.

Popular Router Brands

• TP-Link: Advanced → Network → DHCP Server → Primary/Secondary DNS
• ASUS: WAN → Internet Connection → DNS Server
• Netgear: Internet → Domain Name Server (DNS) Address
• Linksys: Connectivity → Internet Settings → DNS
• Ubiquiti/UniFi: Settings → Networks → (your network) → DHCP Name Server → Custom

✅ Verify It's Working

After setup, confirm that AdGuard DNS is active:

1. Open your browser and visit adguard.com/test.
2. The page will show whether you are using AdGuard DNS.
3. Visit Phi5ive and enjoy ad-free streaming!

🔧 Troubleshooting

• Pages not loading: Double-check the DNS addresses for typos. Try switching between IPv4 and DoH methods.
• DNS keeps resetting: Your DHCP client may overwrite settings on reconnect. Use the Private DNS (Android) or Configuration Profile (iOS/macOS) method for persistence.
• Slow resolution: AdGuard DNS servers are global with anycast routing. If speeds feel slow, try the DoH method which is often faster on modern networks.
• Some ads still appear: DNS-level blocking cannot remove ads served from the same domain as the content. For those, combine with a browser extension like uBlock Origin.For Android consider downloading the Adguard Free app
• Captive portals (hotel/airport Wi-Fi): Temporarily switch back to automatic DNS to complete the Wi-Fi login, then re-enable AdGuard DNS.
