Re: C7800 Nighthawk Firmware Release Information
Having the same issue right now. Bought this thing so I can install my own DNS shield and I can't do any of that or use parental controls until the firmware is updated. Can't even use the Netgear app...

You bought it to run DNS shield.
Which is what exactly? Is it a 3rd party service for DNS?
If so, you can go in and change the DNS without issues. I've ran PiHold fo years on all my devices.
