BR200 Alternate DNS when ISP IP is dynamic
Looking for an option to configure alternate DNS servers when my ISP WAN connection is DHCP. I could do this on the BR200 when it was locally managed, but can't configure this within Insight unless I switch my WAN to static. Seems like a feature parity gap, but asking for confirmation. If it is, could this be added to close the gap?

Re: BR200 Alternate DNS when ISP IP is dynamic
Hello,
Currently dynamic DNS can be setup through the local interface of the BR200. It requires you to use one of the dynamic DNS providers on the list but you can bind your WAN IP to a host name without the need to set it as static.

Re: BR200 Alternate DNS when ISP IP is dynamic
I was actually referring to setting static DNS servers for my WAN connection that are different from my ISP-provided DNS servers. You can manually set them in the local BR200 interface, but this option is not currently available via Insight. I’m still able to manually set them on the BR200, however if I make other config changes in Insight it will overwrite the DNS settings. So currently it defeats the purpose of trying to manage via Insight.

Hello,
At this time no information if this will be available in Insight. For now I recommend to raise awareness in the ideas exchange thread for feedback from our community members and NETGEAR team.
