How do you add DNS information in iOS?

Go to Settings->Wifi, and tap the ℹ icon next to your Wifi network's name. Then Tap on "Static" and manually enter the DNS info.

However, it mihgt be a good idea to get the cable mode setup so it does pickup the DNS info, and as such can be used by the iOS device.

The DNS for your iOS device should in most cases just be the IP of your Wifi router though.

Another way to fix it is by manually entering DNS IPs in your WiFi router. That'll take care of all devices that connect thru it. Otherwise you'll have to manually enter DNS IPs in every device you use.

What DNS IP address does the router assign to your devices? Have you tried restarting your Airport router after making changes to it?

Which is correct, as I said before, typically, the DNS address in an internal network, should be the router's IP address, not really actual DNS IP addressess.

Your Router should then use the DNS servers given to it by the ISP to resolve URLs.

In any case, why do you think you need to have the DNS on your devices specifically? Are you having issues resolving URLs to their IP addresses?

What issues are you having?

Does your device(s) have problem resolving names to IPs? There shouldn't be any problem even if the assigned DNS IP is that of the router's (10.0.1.1).
