Can you use manual DNS while getting dynamic IP address from provider?
I can't seem to set the DNS address which will be used by my network. Is a manual DNS address verboten if you're getting your router's IP address via DHCP?
Yes, you can select manual DNS regardless if you have static or dynamic IP address.
This can be set under >> ADVANCED >> Setup >> Internet Setup

Except it won't let me choose "Use These DNS Servers".
In fact, the only way I can get it to allow that choice is if I choose "Use Static IP Address".
This has become a frequent question lately. What we seem to find is that customers who activate Disney Circle or Armor find that they no longer get to define custom DNS servers. Would you by chance have activated either of these?
Yes, both actually.
