Roku Smart DNS Setup Guide

Follow this simple guide to use UnGeo Smart DNS with Roku by configuring DNS on your router.

Before You Start

Before changing your DNS settings, make sure your UnGeo account is active and your current IP address is added in your Client Area. If that is already done, continue with the DNS setup below.

Don’t have an account yet?

Choose a plan and create your UnGeo account before setting up DNS.

Add your current IP address

Add your current IP address in the Client Area to allow UnGeo to work properly.

Once both are done, continue with the DNS setup steps.

Router setup required

Need router setup?

This device does not allow DNS servers to be changed directly on the device. To use UnGeo Smart DNS, configure DNS on your router instead.

If your router model is listed on our Setup page, follow the dedicated guide for that router. If your router is not listed, continue with the universal router setup steps below.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Check Your Roku Device

Roku does not allow manual DNS changes directly on the device. To use UnGeo Smart DNS with Roku, configure DNS on your router.

Open Your Router Settings

Open your router admin page in a browser. You can usually access it from a computer or phone connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Find DNS Settings

Go to the router Internet, WAN, DHCP, LAN, or Advanced Network settings section. The exact menu name depends on your router model.

Enter Your UnGeo Smart DNS servers

Replace the current DNS servers with the UnGeo Smart DNS servers shown in your Client Area.

Save Router Settings

Save or apply the new DNS settings on your router.

Restart Your Router

Restart your router so the new DNS settings are applied to your home network.

Restart Your Roku Device

Go to Settings, open System, select Power, and choose System Restart. On some Roku models, use Settings → System → System Restart.

Connect Roku to Your Network

Make sure your Roku device is connected to the same Wi-Fi or Ethernet network where UnGeo Smart DNS is configured.

Set Roku Region Correctly

Roku channel availability depends on your Roku account region. If you need US apps, use a Roku account created for the United States.

You’re All Set!

Your Roku is now ready to stream your favorite channels with UnGeo Smart DNS.

Troubleshooting

Roku devices do not allow manual DNS setup directly on the device. Set up UnGeo Smart DNS on your router instead.

Look for Internet, WAN, DHCP, LAN, or Advanced Network settings. If your router does not allow DNS changes, contact UnGeo support and we’ll help you choose another setup option.

Roku channel availability depends on your Roku account region. If you need US channels, make sure your Roku account is set up for the United States.

Make sure your UnGeo account is active, your current IP address is added in the Client Area, and the UnGeo Smart DNS servers were entered correctly on your router.

The logic is the same. Roku TV also does not allow manual DNS changes directly on the device, so UnGeo Smart DNS should be configured on your router.
