7800DXL DNS

Does any one know exactly where and how to set my DNS? For some reason there is two DNS settings pages? I've set both and it's still using my ISP's default.

The DNS should be set to your WAN interface as shown on the attached screen capture

Thanks for the reply, but my control panel is slightly different, I currently have it set like this:
7800dxl_1.png
7800dxl_2.png
Is this the correct way to set the DNS on the 7800DXL?

Yes that looks correct to me, once the DNS change is made the WAN interface should revert to use your selected DNS servers, under 'Configuration >> WAN >> WAN Service' click on the edit button for you WAN connection and check to see if the manual DNS server is added, like the screen shot I added

Yeap that's done the trick, many thanks for your quick help and advice.
On another note I was a Netgear user since the dawn of time, and I must say that this Billion is much better at getting the most from my connection, sync is at least 5 percent more over my previous DGND3700v2 router, the 7800DXL is a bit of an ugly looking brute though, but it's what's on the inside that counts, I love the snr setting field being in the panel, as it saves all of that telnet reboot drama, and the auto reboot is a very useful option, over all I'm quite impressed, it's only major downside is the QOS is very poor.
