Network Routers

Using playmoTV requires users to change their DNS settings. We have detailed instructions on how to make this change on each device we support but there still is a way to push every device in your home or office through your router. This method can be more difficult, especially because there are so many different types of routers out there.

For those of you who know how to do this or can figure it out on your own by using the Internet we kindly ask you to send us your method so we can tell other playmoTV users how you did it.
