I have owned the Ericsson W35 RocketHub for over two years now. Unlike the Netcomm RocketHub, the Rogers variant of the W35 RocketHub does not give you the ability to modify the DNS IP addresses at the device itself. They are as obtained from Rogers using dhcp when the RocketHub connects to the Rogers cell service. The W35 web management interface does not allow you to change the DNS addresses.
The lack of ability to change the DNS settings on the W35 is an issue on the W35 but not for the same reasons as on the Netcomm. Personnally I have not had, nor have I seen, any reports of DNS problems with the W35. But, given the poor performance of the Rogers-provided DNS services, it would definitely be desirable to have the ability to set alternate DNS addresses into the W35. I have several computers here that access the W35, so that means I have to change the DNS settings in each one manually. If I could set the desired DNS addresses into my W35, dhcp would do the job for me automatically.
Ironically, if I had command line interface access to the W35, I could in fact change the DNS settings at the W35, because the functionality is available at the CLI. But Rogers has not revealed how we can access the CLI on the W35. We do not know the password required to access the CLI on the W35.
