R7900 - Requesting additional DNS configuration within Router Setup Configuration. I only see one place to set the DNS and I believe there needs to be two. One for what DNS server(s) the router itself should use and a second entry for setting what DNS server(s) the clients should use. Without being able to set this, the DHCP settings provided by the router specify the router address as the DNS server. Why does this matter? If you are using tools like Pi-Hole all traffic is shown to come from the router. This does not allow you to identify which host is making DNS requests. You can manually update the DNS server(s) the clients are using, but this should be a configuration setting within the router configuration.
