Set fall-through DNS to DHCP
This is more of an enhancement request than anything else...
Problem:
My ISP is constently changing their broadcasted DNS addresses. Why? Because they constantly have DNS issues!
So I'm wondering if NetGear specifically the Orbi firmware can have an option to have a fall-through DNS entry.
For example:
* If all of the ISP broadcasted (via DHCP) DNS addrs are non-responsive
* Then fall through to some user added public DNS like: 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4
Thanks!

No router does that, because "responsiveness" is a client-side determination (and ever-changing).
Why even accept the ISP's DNS at all if it's that bad? Just set it to Google Public DNS or OpenDNS and forget it.
