Setting up DNS when IP is provided by ISP
My ISP do not let me the option to get a static IP adress so I have to select "IP provided by ISP" in internet V4 configuration. The issue on my RAX10 is that I cannot choose my DNS and am forced to ...
what modem/gateway do you have?
What happens when you change the dns provider?
- My Netgear RAX10 router is behind a router provided by the ISP. As I said, I cannot change the DNS because my IP address is dynamic and provided by the ISP.
If I change experimentally to static IP address in the settings, I am able to change the DNS (in other word these two settings are exclusive).
I can change the DNS settings in the IPv6 settings though.
So I don’t understand this limitation on IPv4.This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.
