Can't change DNS servers on Netgear C6300
i'm trying to change my DNS Sever to work with my raspberry pi 4 but i keep getting this error "internal fail! fail to make the requested change" why can't i simply change this?! C6300 Firmwar...
Well all FW for Cable ISPs has a hand in wnat NG gives them so ISP may have there own modifications before pushing out to users modems.
One reason why I prefer modem only units then install a external wifi router. More control over what ISPs don't need to have. :smileywink:

C6300[v1] or C6300v2? Look for "Model" on the product label.

"Can't change DNS servers" to _anything_ else, or only to some device
on your LAN?
Netgear router firmware on multiple models has been reported to be
unwilling to accept a DNS server with a LAN-subnet IP address.
I'm unaware of a work-around.
its the C6300 V1 Because it doesn't say V2
and if thats the cast i guess i wasted $200 on this piece of S***!Disconnect the COAX cable from the modem. Factory reset the them and setup from scratch. Go in with a PC and web browser and see if you can change the DNS addresses. Sometimes DNS maybe controlled by the ISP and they put restrictions on this. Review the user manual about changing DNS addresses.
ill have to try this on the weekend because i work form home right now.
i really should ask if anyone knows about raspberry pi 4 and pi-hole? because this is my main goal to get this running an working correctly and wish i knew more about networking because this part is killing me.
ill keep in touch on my status too.
