Question

Hello,&nbsp;Has anyone been able to change the DNS numbers to OpenDNS on a MK83 ?the option to change it is there. &nbsp;but the number fields remain greyed out.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks.

I would presume the IP should change soon after it's applied or the router reboots. Again something to ask NoIP about and see what support says.&nbsp;&nbsp;As a different test you might try a different DNS service like OpenDNS and see if theres does the same thing. if it does, there maybe an issue at the router that NG needs to help you with.&nbsp;

Am finding that out. &nbsp;but just in case some one else wants to know. &nbsp; I contacted support. and the answer is no. &nbsp;at least this MK80 mesh system. &nbsp;doesn't support OpenDNS. &nbsp;

So I’ve been playing with the MK83 for a couple of different issues. And for some reason. The fields to change the DNS numbers are now enable when I select it. So I guess support was wrong . The routers page also has the option to use a service like noIP . For those of us with dynamic ip’s. Now I just have to figured that out. Since this is my first router with this options. Before I used to run the openDNS ip updater on one of the computers.
Just in case anyone else needs to know.

Is Armor or any Smart Parental controls enabled on the MK router? Usually if any of these items are enabled, this disable any configuration changes to DNS as these will take control over DNS.&nbsp;in2ndo&nbsp;wrote:So I’ve been playing with the MK83 for a couple of different issues.
