Using AdGuard DNS on Your Router

When setting up AdGuard DNS on your router, there are a few steps you need to follow to ensure that it works correctly. First, make sure your router mode is set to IPV4 only. This can be done by going into your modem's settings and selecting the 'Router Mode' option. Once you've selected this option, save the changes.

By setting your router mode to IPV4 only, you're telling your Mac to use the Rogers IPV6 DNS as its primary DNS source instead of the AdGuard IPV6 DNS. This is because Mac OS tends to give preference to IPV6 addresses by default.

If you have dual mode currently selected on your modem, which means it supplies both IPV4 and IPV6 services, then IPV6 would be the default address scheme used by your Mac. To avoid this, make sure you switch to the 'Router Mode' option in your modem's settings.

Without an IPV6 DNS entry capability in your modem, if you were using IPV6, you would still use the Rogers IPV6 DNS instead of the AdGuard IPV4 DNS. This is because the modem would default to the Rogers IPV6 DNS without any DNS entry.

To use the AdGuard DNS on your Mac, simply select the macOS icon on the AdGuard page and follow the instructions for entering the DNS addresses into your Mac's operating system. Make sure to enter the correct DNS address into the correct location in your modem settings as well.

It's worth noting that Rogers and Hitron have not included IPV6 DNS addresses for user entry, so you will need to use the router instructions provided by AdGuard to get started.

By following these steps, you should be able to set up and use AdGuard DNS on your router successfully.
