How to update my DNS entries in Orbi?

Question

I'm trying to force Google SafeSearch on at the router / Orbi level. I can't find any entries on the admin page to set the DNS entry for www.google.com to be a CNAME for forcesafesearch.google.com.

Does the Orbi support this?

So, at a network level with the Orbi, there is no way to do this:&nbsp;Configure Domain Name System (DNS) on your network to add a Canonical Name (CNAME) for the following hostnames:&nbsp;www.youtube.comm.youtube.comyoutubei.googleapis.comyoutube.googleapis.comwww.youtube-nocookie.comFor Strict Restricted YouTube access, add restrict.youtube.com as a CNAME for these domains.&nbsp;For Moderate Restricted YouTube access, add restrictmoderate.youtube.com as a CNAME for these domains.Please do not give a CNAME to other YouTube hostnames, including these:youtube.coms.ytimg.comyoutu.begoogleapis.comChanging the CNAME for these hostnames affects YouTube's ability to function correctly.&nbsp;&nbsp;If not, is there an official mechanism to add this as a feature request to Netgear to get it in a FW release?

Hello Kevincol

&nbsp;

The DNS server would be on the Internet Setup page.

Hi Darren,I can see where you can put in a DNS server on the Internet Setup Page. &nbsp;That isn't what I was trying to accomplish. &nbsp;I need to input a CName and all that is available is an IP address. &nbsp;

How is that supposed to happen?&nbsp; Doesn't it need DNS to look up the IP for the name you're entering?&nbsp; Try using 216.239.38.120.

That's not supported.
