What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
So disconnect the RBR from the ISP modem/ONT and factory reset the RBR either by using the ERASE button under Advanced Tab/Advanced/Back up menu or press the reset button for 15 seconds then release.
Setup the RBR using a web browser and 1 wired PC. Skip the setup wizard and select manually setup the router yourself. Skip adding the RBS as well. After you get to the main screen, if Armor window appears, select Don't show me again.
Go in to Advanced Tab/Settings and Internet. You should be able to select DNS from automatic to Custom.
