@HamzaKhan1 you cannot changecthe DNS settings on sny Sky hub they are hard wired. If you want to use a public DNS you havecto set that up on each device's network settings.

It's either that or replace the Hub with a non-Sky model (which raises other issues). Note that if you are wanting to use OpenDNS for web filtering and logging, anyone using such a device who has administrator credentials can evade such control by changing to a different DNS provider
