R7800 DNS entry
I recently installed an r7800 to be the primary router in my house from Fios. I used the Verizon one previously. I have an amazon fire stick and had to enter a dns entry to stream service that I use...
There is a way to do it.. Granted i am running Voxels firmware but its based on netgears .. hope NGs is similiar..
0.) Telnet into the router (ssh if voxels)
To test temporarily;
1.) vi /tmp/dnsmasq.conf
add the entry(s) you want to the bottom of the file with lines like;
address=/bartsimpson.domain1.com/192.168.0.2
2.) restart dnsmasq
/etc/init.d/dnsmasq stop
/etc/init.d/dnsmasq start
3.) On your client/device (not the router) do a dns lookup or try to resolve bartsimpson.domain1.com
To make the change permanent add the line to /etc/dnsmasq-resolv.conf and restart
the 7800.
So no I could not find a place in the GUI to add static entries but 7800 is running an OS
capable of doing it..

I was looking at dnsmasq file but wasn't sure how to modify it.
Thanks for the help!
