Orbi LBR20 Custom DNS IP

Hi. I have this problem setting my own DNS server type 1.1.1.1 etc. I have an Orbi lbr20 router which acts as an LTE router. I want the computers on my local network to use the DNS server that I set, not my ISP's DNS server. Unfortunately, I do not have a fixed public IP address and when I set a different DNS IP address, computers on the network use the ISP DNS server. I tried restarting it and it's still the same. I have the latest modem and router firmware version 2.6.5.2 on my router.

  • Did you every find a solution to this? I see the post was back in August of 2021. Myself and and many others is several Facebook groups have the same issues. We can change them in the latest firmware update, but they don't actually take effect even after doing a release renew in the connection area.

      Hi. I found a solution to this problem. Below is an option to set DNS for WAN. I chose, put it at the very bottom where I marked. I reloaded the firmware early and did a factory reset.
