Change DNS on CenturyLink ZyXEL C1100Z

Learn how to configure CleanBrowsing DNS on your CenturyLink ZyXEL C1100Z router to enable content filtering for your home network.

Step 1: Access the Router

Navigate to 192.168.0.1 in your browser and log in with administrator credentials. If this does not work, try alternative defaults from our generic router guide.

Step 2: Navigate to Advanced Setup Menu

Click the Advanced Setup button on the main router interface page.

Step 3: Navigate to WAN Settings

Within Advanced Setup, locate and click on WAN Settings under the Broadband Settings section to access DNS configuration options.

Step 4: Configure DNS Type Section

Scroll to the Set The DNS Type area and select Static DNS to enable manual DNS entry. Input the CleanBrowsing DNS addresses:

  • Primary DNS: 185.228.168.168
  • Secondary DNS: 185.228.169.168

Enter one unique IP for each input box. If you have a paid CleanBrowsing plan, use your account-specific DNS IPs instead.

Click Apply to save your settings.
