2. Select Wi-Fi.
3. Tap the small “i” icon next to the name of the WiFi network that needs the DNS server details changed.
4. Scroll down, and tap Configure DNS.

5. At the top, change the setting from Automatic to Manual.

6. In the section below, tap the red minus circle next to the DNS servers followed by Delete to remove them.

7. Tap Add Server, then in the new empty listing, type in your Smart DNS IP address carefully. Delete a second listing if a redundancy option is available.

Leave only one DNS record!

8. Once finished, tap Save in the top-right corner.

The same process can be used to change the servers again at a later time or to revert back to the connection’s default. To use the DNS server the Wi-Fi network specifies, change from Manual back to Automatic.
