Hi
I'm using TIME internet service, i would like to change the DNS to 1.1.1.1 but not able to find the setting on the tplink router (model ec230-g1).
The advanced setting screen are not the same as what i found on internet, really dont know how.
Please someone guide me on this.

just use the isp provided dns becos u won't gain anything
public dns only needed when u have vpn for unblocking running inside ur router

Solved, thanks for helping...

Changing DNS is not the only reason to unblock "blocked" sites.
Sometimes improved latency plus DNS server efficiency attributes to noticeable faster web page loading and searching (not to be confused with download or bandwidth speeds) .

This is noticeable when trying to use some of the DNS i.e from Singapore even though a mere 10ms extra.
BTW even using 1.1.1.1 will route to their DNS servers in Malaysia, as it follows original geographical IP address.
But of course anytime faster than ISP's own DNS.

things that cannot be proven by pingtest remain as feelings...nevertheless i using cloudflare which is the slowest of the lot but still feels fast enough

If you just think for one moment I was plucking utter complete BS from thin air and from out of this earth, you're wrong.
If you have read this quote I said earlier, i mentioned the word "latency". Which part did I not prove that its from Ping Test?

FYI, I did extensive Ping Test on several 3rd party DNS outside Malaysia , including Cloudfare.
You would think I'm bullshitting to say Cloudfare has a DNS server in Malaysia.
It takes one to deeply research where the server would originate .

You're statement below:
Is already contradicting. If you already said its the slowest, then why don't you use back your ISP DNS since you say it doesn't bring any benefits? I believe your theory is - ISP DNS latency is faster than 1.1.1.1, which I have to agree since its located locally (duh).

Have a good day ahead.

How did you solve this? I not able to find DNS setting in the router.

Go Network > Internet > Modify the WAN > Advanced > Tick 'Use the Following DNS Addresses' for ipv4 or Tick 'Use the Following IPV6 DNS Address:' for IPV6
