Custom DNS with ISP DHCP

Hi there,

 

I would like to use a custom DNS server (not my ISP's DNS), but they need DHCP for me to connect. It seems like i cannot change this setting on the orbi  unless I use a static with my ISP.

 

Suggestions?

    On the web interface, Advanced Tab->Internet Setup the choices for DHCP and DNS servers are separate

      Yes, but on the RBS50Y?

       

      That's a satellite.

       

      Try tweaking the unnamed router.

        It is actually the RBR50. Sorry. But it stil will not let me change it.
