    This question is not too broad because it gets very specific answers. It's sad that basic idea of asking questions and getting answers is corrupted by policies abuse...

DNS server adress corresponds to DHCP option 006. According to the OpenWRT Wiki your /etc/config/dhcp should look like

config 'dhcp' 'lan'
    ...
    list 'dhcp_option' '6,yourDNSIP'

If you have dnsmasq enabled you need to use DHCP-option 6

So in /etc/dnsmasq.conf you would add:

dhcp-option=6,8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4

To add the google DNS servers

  • What does option 6 do? What are the other options (e.g. 1-5)?
