DNS Priority (Windows 10 vs Router/Modem)
OS: Windows 10, version 1709
Router/Modem: Arris (Comcast) TG1682g
I have a question about which DNS IP address has priority.
The router has a fixed DNS IP of 75.75.75.75 (Comcast). It appears from looking at the router software/firmware and comments on the Comcast user's forum it is not possible for me to change the DNS IP of this router.
I've set Windows DNS IP to 9.9.9.9 (Quad9). I want to use the DNS servers at 9.9.9.9; I do not want to use the DNS servers at 75.75.75.75
My question is: When my Windows 10 send a DNS request to 9.9.9.9 does the router's DNS setting (75.75.75.75) override the Windows DNS address? Or is the DNS request sent to 9.9.9.9 in spite of the routers DNS setting?
Thanks for your wisdom and insights.
