A Domain Name Server, or DNS, is what lets your modem communicate with the internet.
If you’re a Telstra broadband customer you should use the Domain Name Server IP address which is assigned to you during login.
However, if you purchased a third-party modem*, or you had to hard reset your Telstra-supplied modem, you may need to manually assign your DNS.
Which DNS Settings should I use?
If you need to manually assign your modem’s DNS, select the IP address according to your State:
Telstra’s DNS Settings:
| State | Primary DNS Server IP Address | Secondary DNS Server IP Address |
|---|---|---|
| NSW | 61.9.194.49 | 61.9.195.193 |
| Victoria | 61.9.133.193 | 61.9.134.49 |
| Queensland | 61.9.211.33 | 61.9.211.1 |
| Tasmania | 61.9.188.33 | 61.9.134.49 |
| ACT | 61.9.207.1 | 61.9.195.193 |
| South Australia, Northern Territory | 61.9.226.33 | 61.9.194.49 |
| Western Australia | 61.9.242.33 | 61.9.226.33 |
