I have been using Tata Photon Plus for more than one and a half year. Though I am satisfied with overall performance, I faced DNS related issues many times. Many occasions I lost access to Internet due to the issues of default Tata Photon Plus DNS server. I am sure many Photon plus users face the same issues and looking for a solution to fix it. Here I present one practical solution to fix the normal Photon Plus DNS issues.
One of the best solution to fix any DNS related issues is to change the default Tata Photon Plus DNS address to one of the more reliable DNS services. Both Open DNS and Google DNS are better than most of the default ISP owned DNS. In order to change the default DNS configured in Tata Photon Plus follow the steps below.
1. Open Huawei Access Manager
2. Click on Tools and Options
Click on Tools and then select Options.
3. Click on Network Settings
To create a new Photon Plus connection profile, click on New.
4. Create new Photon Plus Profile with new DNS
Enter the following details.
Access Number: #777
Username: Internet
Password: Internet
Click on Advanced button to change the DNS Information.
You can use either one of the following DNS addresses as primary and secondary DNS address.
OpenDNS addresses are:
Primary OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222
Secondary OpenDNS: 208.67.220.220
Google Public DNS Addresses are:
Primary Google DNS: 8.8.8.8
Secondary Google DNS: 8.8.4.4
Do not forget to save the settings after entering the details. Next time you should select the new Photon Plus profile before connecting to the Internet. After selecting new customized Photon plus profile, click on connect button.
Here you can see, we are connected to the Internet by the new profile we have created. This new profile is not using default Tata Photon Plus DNS address. So any DNS related issues caused by the Photon Plus server is resolved automatically. If you are using a Linux PC, follow the link below.
