Using MacBook Pro between GLAXT1800 and Cruise Ship Wifi

Override DNS setting is generally not necessary.

This is because (1) generally no one set up custom dns on their device. (2) if some one set up custom dns 8.8.8.8 on windows, it is automatically encrypted. The “override” option on the router does not work with encryped dns.

Of course if some one set up custom dns which is not encrypted (e.g. in old version of Windows), setting Override option is necessary.

Without the “override dns” setting, the router failed to talk to the captive portal and no internet connection was made.
