If you are configuring your own DNS settings then you probably know what you are doing, however. The DNS server settings will be configurable after factor reset. Once you have configured them, you can now connect internet (eg, from your cable modem). You will find that the DNS servers are "locked" / grayed out once again, but at least they will be your chosen DNS servers.
