I have tried to find a way to manually set the DNS and I can't find it.

There used to be a special advanced config area you could get to by
doing to /mdc (or something like that) that let you change more
settings, but it wasn't available there either.

Since my RG has been updated (automatically) from the 5.x series of
code to the 6.x series, even that is no longer available.

There may be other hidden settings, but I'm sure that won't be
supported by AT&T.

You'd have to host your own router on the other side of the 2Wire RG
and have it do the DNS the way you want it. That was too much trouble
for me, so I just use that AT&T gives me.

I had no idea that there were DNS latency problems like that. I've
never done any testing.
