Nighthawk AX5 RAX30 DNS not editable
Just recently purchased a netgear modem and Nighthawk AX5 RAX30 router to replace Xfinity's xfi so I can do more with my network. I want to setup Adguard on my raspberry pi but for that to work you need to point the router's DNS address to the pi. When i go into the router to change the internet setup I can change the addresses for the Internet IP Address however when I set the DNS to Use these DNS servers the address lines stay greyed out.
I turned off parental controls and the A Security functions and set the PI's static IP on the client and removed the static from the router thinking those were the problem with no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
You may need to factory reset the router and setup from scratch. If you do, be sure to not enable Armor or SPC.

what modem do you have?
What firmware version are you on?
Have you tried a different browser or pc?
Or clearing cache/data on your current browser?
Hate to recommend it but have you tried a factory reset/reinstall? (don't use a backup configuration)
I've used numerous netgear routers with my pihole and the only time I wasn't able to modify the dns settings was when it was in access point mode or when I had a browser issue. (try firefox or edge)
