Make sure your device is connected to the D-Link router. Try dlinkrouter.local, 192.168.0.1, or the router IP address shown in your network settings.
Open Setup → Internet, then look for Manual Internet Connection Setup, Internet Setup, WAN, or Dynamic IP (DHCP) Internet Connection Type.
Some D-Link routers show DNS fields only after opening Manual Internet Connection Setup or disabling automatic DNS from your ISP.
Restart your D-Link 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.
