    Unsure why you would want to but from one of the first Google search results, this came up;

    I'm trying to use my chromecast with bbc iplayer etc.
    I had a look at that but I don't know where on the Eir router I would need to put them!
    Cant find anything that looks the same...

    Ah - so I guess you are trying to use another DNS provider to fool your Chromecast that you are in the UK.
    There are many guides out there to use, it isn't straight forward depending on the ISP router. Maybe look at the back of the router to get a model number and that would help folks give you some direction.

    Yeah I've had a search on how to do this but can't find the section on the Eir router.

    The numbers I posted after the Eir router are all that's on the back of it other than sagemcom.

    Ah, doesn't look like that router is great - if you don't have Eir's TV service then you can prob just replace that router and follow the guides in the before linked to site
