Hello   . I have one question  .

I have currently a DNS server addresses configured inside the router settings configuration . 

the question is   :  is better also  set in the  "use  the following DNS server addresses " the same DNS server addresses ( that are set in the router config )   in the Windows 10  TCP/IPv4 properties  ? 

or is better  keep  the Windows 10 settings in the default   "Obtain an IP Address automatically " ?

resume :  is better set  the DNS servers in both  router and  Windows 10 TCP/ipv4  settings ?   or    is better only set this DNS ´s addresses  only inside the router configuration  , and then leave  in the Windows 10 TCP/IPv4  in the default  "Obtain an IP Address automatically " ?

Thank you  by any suggestions

    The router configuration is adequate.

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is William. I'm a Windows technical expert. I'll be happy to help you out today.

    Your router is acting as the gateway so their is no need to mirror these settings in TCP properties.

    As for IP address assignment, it really doesn't matter if you set this to automatic or if you are manually assigning a static IP, since that relies on DHCP and has nothing to do with DNS.

    Hi WilliamDz   thank you by your quick answer 

    yeah DHCP has nothing to do with DNS  .  sorry    my mistake .   I just wanted to refer to DNS´s only

    Not to the IP address.

    If it is better  also put the same DNS in the configuration of the Windows 10 network adapter,   or only inside the router  configuration
