MK80 and OpenDNS
Hello, Has anyone been able to change the DNS numbers to OpenDNS on a MK83 ? the option to change it is there. but the number fields remain greyed out. Thanks.
Am finding that out. but just in case some one else wants to know. I contacted support. and the answer is no. at least this MK80 mesh system. doesn't support OpenDNS.
- So I’ve been playing with the MK83 for a couple of different issues. And for some reason. The fields to change the DNS numbers are now enable when I select it. So I guess support was wrong . The routers page also has the option to use a service like noIP . For those of us with dynamic ip’s. Now I just have to figured that out. Since this is my first router with this options. Before I used to run the openDNS ip updater on one of the computers.
Just in case anyone else needs to know.Is Armor or any Smart Parental controls enabled on the MK router? Usually if any of these items are enabled, this disable any configuration changes to DNS as these will take control over DNS.
