Please post about this here:https://community.netgear.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-For-Home/idb-p/idea-exchange-for-home&nbsp;FYI, its been long standing design of NG routers to use a proxy or DNS relay from router to clients. Not sure if NG will ever change this.&nbsp;

I see... if it's long standing, it appears that this feature will not be added.&nbsp; Not sure why.. prob a 10 min fix.&nbsp; Might be worth looking to enable telnet into the router and modify the DHCP config or I'll have to just use my own DHCP server.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Well tell net isn't supported on orbi AX. It was in the early days. NG has since removed it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Seen this with many NG routers over the years.They seem to want to process all DNS thru the router.One thing I like about D-Link routers, they offer this feature and you can disable DNS Relay on there routers.&nbsp;
