Set static DNS Server configuration while in AP Mode

You cannot set DNS servers while in AP mode.. In this mode, the router basically acts as a (wireless) switch. Your main router handles all DNS requests

I know the device is legacy at this point; yet, I do hope they release one more firmware that addresses any security issues AND allows the DNS Server that the R7900P is using itself for lookups to be modified. I'd be happy if they made the configuration accessible only via the cli (hopefully saving time so they don't have to worry about modifications to the GUI
