EX6200 Acting as a DNS server
Purchased a EX6200, upgraded to latest firmware. Connected to a business network and configured as an access point. Issue I am having is that two PC's on the business network which is on a 160.0.1.x ...
Oh, I did not know that they added Access Point functionality to the EX6200. That's great. Are you allowed to use any Ethernet port to connect to the router?
It was probably acting as a DNS relay/proxy. Even Netgear routers act as DNS relays. In any case, the extender should not have advertised itself as a DNS relay without knowing the address of the actual DNS server. That should be considered a bug which Netgear should look into. Hopefully, a moderator will take notice of this and have engineering investigate.
It certainly took me by supprise.
Anyway thanks for your perserverence with this thread, it is much appreciated.
