Router R7800 issue with dns0.eu IP address
Hello,
I've tried to use the new DNS provider dns0.eu (192.110.81.0) with my router R7800 but the IP of the provided is "invalid" because the IP ends with .0. Tried with the same provider but with another IP (for other filtering specifications) and it's working just fine.
The .0 IP works fine with any other device I've tried on (linux server, windows PCs and VPN settings) only the router netgear is giving me troubles.

- if the firmware is not compatible with this and says it's an invalid address, I don't think you can work it around. Firmware needs to be updated or you can install Voxel's firmware and try on there; it's basically stock firmware with improvements, fixes and a bit more functionality.
The link to Voxel's website is here: http://www.voxel-firmware.com/Downloads/Voxel/html/index.html
Before your jump in, carefully review the README file at the top of the page.
- Is there a way to engage the team into this issue and have an official fix.
The router must be stable and secure and I'm not so much into flashing the firmware with one that's not official

Most of the answers come from fellow users who have no connection with Netgear. They just have a lot of collective experience and are familiar with the sort of problems that turn up here.
If you want "official" support then you should go through the right channels.
