I have a Netgear Router Model C3700 and I would like to know how to change the DNS settings. I crrently have a DNS service on line and as such i am unable to use the web browser with an IP address to gain access to the router. Additionally, When I open NetGear Genie under the INTERNET SETTING I am unable to view the DNS settings. So I need some assitance to gain access to the these settings. Hopefully, someone can assist me with this chore. Thanks, JM

As usual, you might get better advice if you described the actual problem which you are trying to solve, rather than asking how to implement some particular "solution" ("change the DNS settings") which may have little or nothing to do with your actual problem.

I don't know what that means to you.

"unable" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.
DNS translates a name (like "google.com" or "routerlogin.net") to an IP address. If you _start_ "with an IP address", then it's not clear to me why you'd need DNS. Or, hence, why any change in your DNS configuration would matter.

"unable" again. Which "NetGear Genie"? Ever helpful, Netgear uses the name "Genie" for more than one thing. Netgear routers have a web-browser interface called "Genie", and Netgear offers application programs for various computers/tablets/phones, which are also called "Genie".
