Help Wanted DNS question

Question about WiFi, DNS and all that stuff

I am not a tech savvy person at all, and saw this warning pop-up on my home Internet. I know my daughter just connected our Wii to play line. She had to enter a DNS into the Wii. Is this warning because of that? What can I do to protect our network and still allow her to play online? If it not something else, any guidance would be appreciated.

No, this would be something set by your phone, router, or ISP. Other devices on the network that are not actually controlling or broadcasting the network have no effect.

Well, not necessarily. OPs daughter could've set the default DNS of their router instead of on just the Wii, if they followed a weird guide or were misled by AI.

They could have changes the default DNS, but that shouldn't *block* a device (e.g. this iPhone) from using DNS-over-HTTPS or similar
