IPv6 Manual DNS

[latinkreationz]

I'm using OpenDNS for both IPv4 and IPv6.  When I look at my settings in the Netgear Up app, it shows the DNS resolvers pulling from my ISP for IPv6 rather than the manual ones I entered.  IPv4 resolvers are showing correctly.  So am I to assume that my ISP resolvers are being using instead of the ones I manually entered? I'm including screenshots for reference.

I just wanted to give an update.  So it seems if Auto-Detect is used when setting up IPv6, no matter what manual DNS servers are entered, the ones auto retrieved from the ISP are used.  Once I switched the setting to DHCP, then the manual DNS servers I entered are used.

I’ve not used up App myself. You’re probably best to contact Netgear directly through their official support: https://www.netgear.com/support/contact.aspx

Thanks for the update! I will make a note of this and bring it up to the Netgear team to get fixed. Glad that you managed to resolve the issue.
