RBR850 - DNS Options are Disabled (FW 4.6.3.9)

I updated to firmware V4.6.3.9_2.0.50 today. First thing I noticed was my DNS settings were gone and the radio buttons in the GUI were disabled:

 

The text boxes for IP address input are enabled, but after I fill out the fields and hit apply, they remain empty after the page refreshes and the radio buttons are still disabled.

 

How can I get manual DNS to stick?

 

Edit: I also enabled Parental Controls today but I'm not sure if they are related and I can't figure out where to disable them to test. Ideas?

 

Thanks!

Anthony

  • What happens if you disable SPC? Usually SPC features uses there own DNS and disables any custom user inputs when SPC is enabled.

      I'm looking through the app and I can't figure out where to disable Parental Controls. 

       

      Can you point me in the right direction?
