Creating a custom DNS Server
Keeping in mind that I'm a novice with routers and such... I've been told I need to create "Custom DNS Server" on my Netgear router. I have zero idea how to do this, or even what it means. Woul...
Are you sure I haven't exhausted those avenues already?
I've asked one question. I have zero answers to it. In the process of asking, I've answered three questions, none of which help solve the problem at hand, nor get any closer to answering my question.
The suggestion to start from the beginning by stating what the problem attempting to be solved is, is fair. However, I've done that...for months to this point in time.
The question is NOT whether you think my request for instructions will or will not solve the problem! The question is, can you tell me how to do that? It begs a simple response...yes...or no! And if yes, what are the instructions. The rest, my friends, is extraneous and opinions that were not being sought.
Instead, we've now wasted 24 hours with answering questions with questions. This, friends, is why these boards are often frustrating to the average human being! Next time, just try answering that damn question, and leave it at that!
No need to respond. It's clearly not possible.

That's my question.
Coming up here with a "how do I do this on my router?" answer is often less productive than lobbing a problem, what you want to achieve (eliminate double NAT), into the maw.
I'd be tempted to try this:
Search - NETGEAR Communities – Nokia 5G21
Most issue like that have come up somewhere else. And problems with third party hardware may be best attacked in the outside world where there is likely to be more experience.
I'd also go to the ISP's support site, if there is one. This wont be a Netgear only issue. Anyone seeking to use a decent router with this modem/router will be in the same boat

Who knows? You arrived here telling us next to nothing about what you have tried.
All we can do is to respond with suggestions based on what people have done before.
Apologies if we are wasting your time. Sadly, experience tells us that very few people bother to do much research before they ask for help.
