Nighthawk C7000 set IPv6 DNS enteries

My network has a dedicated DNS server that I have set up (which is IPv4). Recently I noticed new dns server addresses showing up on my clients. Turns out it's my ISP's IPv6 DNS servers being forwarded through. This is a problem because the clients are now bypassing my DNS server. I have been looking at how to overide this on the Genie Web Interface and point it to my DNS with it's own IPv6, but have had no luck finding where I can set/overide the IPv6 DNS settings.  Has anyone else seen this and have a fix?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

      There only seems to be a place to configure the DHCP addresses. No place to set DNS entries.

        Still no solution. At this point, I'm going to have to assume that this model is lacking proper admin privileges. More then a bit disapointed in netgear since this should be a basic function.  Going to have to turn off the feature in the router and set up a stand alone DNS.
