Troubleshooting

Make sure your device is connected to the Asus router. Check the router label, ASUS Router app, or your network settings to find the correct router admin address.

Open WAN → Internet Connection and scroll down to WAN DNS Setting. On newer ASUSWRT versions, the DNS field may be edited through the Assign button.

Turn off automatic DNS first. Set Connect to DNS Server automatically to No, or use Assign if your ASUSWRT version shows that option.

Restart your Asus router and reconnect your devices to the network. Some devices may keep old DNS settings until they reconnect.

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.
