Nighthawk MR6550 DNSMasq settings override.

Hi,

Trying to find out how to override the domain entry in the DNSmasq.conf file.
The router states that the file is generated by 'LAN Engine"


----------------------------------------------------------------------

# cat /mnt/userrw/etc/dnsmasq.conf
######################################################
# dnsmasq configuration file generated by LAN Engine #
######################################################

# Never forward plain names (with a dot or domain part)
domain-needed

# Never forward addresses in the non-routed address spaces.
bogus-priv

# Provide domain, resolve FQDNs
domain=net
dhcp-fqdn
------------------------------------------------------------


I want to be able to change the local domain.

I paid a lot of money for this router, it's quite absurd that it appending a `.net` suffix to my DNS lookups and it is messing up my DNS.

In addition, there are a ton of hosts entries that are being added to DNS records that are questionable at best

/mnt/userrw/etc/dnsmasq.hosts
-------------------------------------

Has any one else had any success in keeping cleaner networking settings?
