3006.102.4 - DNS Director New Redirect With "Router" NOT Working

[salieri]

Router = BE86U
Firmware = 3006.102.4

- CHANGED: Setting DNS Director to "Router" will now always
redirect to the router's own IP. Previously it
would redirect to the first DNS server configured
on the DHCP page (which defaults to the router
itself).
If you need DNS Director to redirect to an IP
configured in your DHCP settings, use a Custom DNS
entry in DNS Director. This makes it more consistant
with what the name implies, and was also necessary
for improved Guest Network support.

I left my old DNS Director settings after the upgrade (see screenshots below).

1) The updated change is NOT redirecting to the Router's own IP. Instead it has the old behavior of redirecting using the specified DNS Server in LAN -> DHCP Server.

2) All of my devices are experiencing this.

To reproduce:
1) Used my iPhone
2) Did a Forget This Network in WiFi settings
3) Rejoined the WiFi network and entered my credentials.
4) On the iPhone I went to Configure DNS and saw the DNS Server is still 192.168.2.2

How do I get this to work?

4) On the iPhone I went to Configure DNS and saw the DNS Server is still 192.168.2.2

Which is expected behavior due to having the DHCP Server DNS configured for 192.168.2.2 and your phone obtaining it's IP (and DNS server) from the router's DHCP server.

How are you determining that the DNS Director isn't working? In otherwards that DNS requests are not being routed to the router. What is the router's IP address? What is the 192.168.2.2 IP address?

FWIW, this is my setting under LAN - DHCP Server:

Spoiler: LAN - DHCP Server

DNS Director does state, '"Router" will force clients to use the DNS provided by the router's DHCP server (or, the router itself if it's not defined).' That sounds like you are seeing expected behavior. You aren't advertising your router's IP and you do have a custom DNS listed.

The behavior of Router mode changed in 3006.102.4, compared to 3004.388.9.

My bad, I see that in the other screenshot now. I was looking at my view. Thank you!
