    1. eero app > Settings > Network settings > DNS.
    2. Choose Customized DNS and enter <FIREWALLDNS-PRIMARY> and <FIREWALLDNS-SECONDARY>.
    3. Save. Turn off eero Plus DNS filtering to avoid conflicts.

    Verify it works

    2. Run nslookup example.com and check which server answered.
    3. Open the live log in your dashboard. New lookups should appear within seconds.
