Nighthawk R7960P - possible to change DNS server assigned by DHCP?
Is it possible to set DHCP to assign a specific DNS server? I don't see any way to do it. I want all my clients to use 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1
On the routers web page under Advanced Tab/Setup/Internet you can input custom DNS.

Thanks, I saw that but I'm not sure if it truly changes what the client is given via DHCP. Unfortunately, nslookup returns the router address as DNS when done that way. When I manually change my computers adapter to 1.1.1.1, nslookup shows it as being used for lookups. I'll accept the answer, but when I get some free time, I'll see if I can verify with wireshark. The reason I'm asking is because I'm getting constant
"DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" errors and the only thing that seems to resolve it is manually entering DNS on my clients. Thanks!
