How to Check If It’s Working

Visit the UnGeo DNS Check page to verify whether your device is using UnGeo Smart DNS correctly.

Troubleshooting

Open your connected Wi-Fi or Ethernet network details. On some Android TV models, IP settings may be inside Advanced options.

Keep the existing values if they are already shown. Do not guess random network values.

For most home networks, the value is 24. If your network uses a custom configuration, keep the value already shown by your TV or router.

This is normal on many Android TV and Google TV devices. DNS fields usually appear only after switching IP settings to Static.

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