Please disregard. I ended up just disabling DHCP on the router and moving it my Windows server and the DNS issues are resolved.
Thanks
Uggh...response from the level 2 support rep below.I hope he finds a workaround as I cant believe such a high end business router doesnt have such a basic setting that is on almost every lower end home router in existence.
Support response:
I did reproduce this in our lab and I experience similar result. The clients are not updating DNS settings from an internal DNS server.
Enterprise routers lets us specify the DNS server under the LAN settings/setup option but not on the Orbi Pro. I will check if this feature is supported.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

- I received this response from another master forum user:
"Even though you set up different DNS IP addresses, DNS Relay proxy on NG routers is in effect thus all connected devices will get a 192.168.1.1 IP address for there DNS. There is no way to disable this DNS proxy on NG routers.
I see you may have a Orbi Pro, something that should be posted here:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-Pro-WiFi-for-Small-Business/bd-p/en-business-orbi-pro
As the Pro differs in FW and software. Maybe the Pro version can support disabling of DNS Proxying. You'll need to ask there. "
Can this be confirmed or not as a limitation on the Orbi Pro as well as he as stated?If so it sounds like my best solution to the problem is to just set up DHCP on my Windows server and disable it on the router.From what i have read in other IT forums its best practice to have DNS and DHCP on the same server as your domain controller if you are using active directory which we are
ThanksAnyone out there have any feedback on this? I am still waiting on Level 2 support to respond back to me as to whether or not thier engineers have a workaround before I make a plan to move my DHCP server off the router onto my Windows server.
Thanks again
Hi namrevil71,
I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. I recently inquired your concern to the NETGEAR Support Team and got feedback that the Level 2 support handling your case have followed-up to the engineering team about your concern and waiting for response. I will post here once I got an update from NETGEAR Support.
