[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1879426, member: 396914"] Actually, your screenshot shows you connected by BOTH Wifi and Ethernet. Both have green dots. And the DNS setting you showed in the screen capture are most likely from your Internet Service Provider (ISP), the service that the router is attaching to externally. I wonder if you entered the new DNS servers in just WiFi and not in Ethernet? There is a separate place to set DNS for each interface. There is a way to set priorities for which to use, WiFi or Ethernet. Click on the little icon to the right of the "-" button at the bottom of the list of interfaces and a menu will drop down. Click "Set Service Order" and a new window will open with the two interfaces showing, As it says, drag them into the order you want and then click OK. It's easier to click on the WiFi and drag it down below Ethernet in your case. When you get back from the screen, click on Apply to make the changes permanent. [/QUOTE]
