BE 17000 router, using custom DNS but Nighthawk adds 1.1.1.1?
I'm trying to set up custom DNS servers to add protection (opendns) but night hawk keeps adding 1.1.1.1 as a third server, which seems to be circumventing the whole privacy setup. Why is nighth...

lol I added the second one again (in the third option) and it effectively solved the problem. But... this isn't a 'solution' as netgear shouldn't be adding/ poisoning my custom dns settings by adding whatever it wants.
Took me an hour to figure out why dns filtering want happening in our office... this was a needless waste of time.
