Does it matter? Yes and No.
Ok dns realay is the term :) I have no problem with that functionality I use my routers that way . Benefit is that you can change dns in one place if needed. The isp's I've had and currently have has good dns service ! I don't need to use other dns than the ones supplied by my isp . I've tried google dns way back with an older router but I did not really found any difference for my use cases . I've also heard that some isp can have shoddy dns service . So it can be a real need for some to try out other services . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
