How to change Sun Wireless Broadband DNS settings
For Sun Wireless Broadband subscribers, here are the steps needed for you to create a new Connection Profile and use your preferred DNS server/s.
1. Open the Sun Broadband Wireless application and make sure that it’s disconnected to the internet.
2. On the Sun Broadband Wireless application menu, click “Tools > Options”. The Sun Broadband Options box will appear. Click on “Profile Management” on the left-side menu.
3. On the Sun Broadband Options box, click the “New” button. A new profile form will appear.
4. Key in your desired Profile Name (Ex. “Sun – Custom DNS”); Select “Static” APN and key in “fbband” on the APN: field box.
5. Click on the “Advanced…” button. The Advanced Settings box will appear.
6. Un-select “CHAP” and select “PAP” on the Authentication Protocol Settings; change the DNS Settings to “Static” and key in your desired DNS server IP address/es (The OpenDNS servers IP addresses – 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 – were used in the example below). Click the “Save” button and click “OK”.
7. The new profile is saved and you can use this to connect to the internet using your specified DNS server/s.
In most cases, especially when using OpenDNS servers, you might notice a slight improvement in internet access speeds and connection stability as compared to using the default Sun Broadband DHCP-issued DNS settings.
