Can DNS servers be configured manually with DHCP IP?
Hello, I have an Orbi RBR50, I'm trying to configure alternate DNS servers because my ISP's are terrible. However the option to manually configure DNS is disabled when the IP address is DHCP. I searched the community and it seems this should be possible. Is this recently locked down, or am I missing something? FW ver. 2.3.5.30
Any parental controls enabled?
What ISP service do you use? Cable, DSL or Fiber?
What FW version is currently loaded?

Yes you can set different DNS addresses. Under Advanced tab/Settings/Internet
Be sure any access controls are disabled if they are in use or the DNS entry fields maybe grayed out and not configurable.
