Thanks, I found the setting. I always forget Orbi puts some settings in that area.
As for the DNS settings, they are still disabled even though Parental Controls are also disabled.
However, I found a workaround. If I go into the browser developer tools, I can delete the "disabled" attribute on the radio button, fill in the IP addresses, and submit the form. The IPs will persist as long as I don't make any other changes on that page. Weird.
Maybe I'll do a reset of the router tomorrow and see if that helps.
