How to change the sky routers dns servers

Hi, is there any way at all to change the dns servers on the Sky router? (white one)
The option to in the router settings isnt available, assuming the sky firmware has disabled it.

I know I can change them in the tcp/ip settings but would prefer on the router...

thanks in advance.

In the cu.03 and .04 versions of the firmware it is enabled.

Re: How to change the sky routers dns servers

I wouldn't use opendns myself, partly as I don't like it proxying google.

However for the white v1 router - Mel's Notes: Dg834gt-1skuk

You need to save the page to disk (as an html file) and open it locally, for the dns settings option to be available.

Make sure the IP addresses are right and to not include any leading or trailing spaces.
