Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Open Tomato Router Admin Panel

Open a browser on a device connected to your Tomato router and go to your router admin address. The default address is usually 192.168.1.1.

Log In to Your Router

Enter your Tomato router username and password to access the admin panel.

Open Network Settings

Go to Basic, then select Network.

Find DNS Settings

Look for Static DNS, DNS Server, or LAN Static DNS depending on your Tomato firmware version.

Change DNS Server to Manual

If your interface shows a DNS Server option, set it to Manual.

Enter Your UnGeo Smart DNS servers

In the Static DNS 1 field, enter the primary UnGeo Smart DNS server shown in your Client Area. In the Static DNS 2 field, enter the secondary UnGeo Smart DNS server. Leave Static DNS 3 empty or set it to 0.0.0.0 if your Tomato version requires a value.

Save Your Changes

Click Save to store the new DNS settings.

Open DHCP/DNS Settings

Go to Advanced, then select DHCP/DNS.

Check DNS Options

If available, enable Use Internal DNS and disable Use received DNS with user-entered DNS so Tomato does not mix ISP DNS with your UnGeo Smart DNS servers.

Save and Restart Router

Click Save, then restart your Tomato router so the new DNS settings are applied to your network.

Restart Connected Devices

Restart the devices connected to your Tomato router so they receive the updated DNS settings.

You’re All Set!

Your Tomato router is now ready to use UnGeo Smart DNS across your home network.

Troubleshooting

Make sure your device is connected to the Tomato router. Try 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, or the router IP address shown in your network settings.

Open Basic → Network and look for Static DNS, LAN Static DNS, or DNS Server. Menu names can vary between Tomato, Advanced Tomato, and FreshTomato.

Open Advanced → DHCP/DNS and disable Use received DNS with user-entered DNS if your firmware provides this option. Then save and restart the router.

Restart your Tomato 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.
