Nokia Router DNS Configuration - Airtel Fiber

[LabTron]

Hello! I have an Airtel Fiber connection, and they provided me with a Nokia G-140W-F router. My plan is to set up two Piholes. To test, I configured the OpenDNS primary and secondary DNS (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220) in the Network > LAN option router level. I then configured static IP's on my devices (PCs) and set the DNS server fields router's gateway IP, to use the router's DNS settings (which are set to OpenDNS).

However, this configuration doesn't seem to be working. When I switch to the Auto DHCP option on my devices, it starts working. Is there any additional configuration I need to do?


Thanks

Static DHCP entry is set up, the device will always be assigned the same IP address by the router. The default configuration is to use DHCP to obtain their (local devices) IP addresses automatically from the router's pool of available addresses.
