1) Log into your router
2) Navigate to the "Basic" tab
3) Select "Internet" on the left side
4) Go to "Manual Configure"
5) Check "Use Advanced DNS Services"

This 'feature' appears to be non-functional (at least for me) as of this morning.

The DNS servers it specifies are not responding to DNS queries (and non-pingable)- making internet browsing a little difficult.

These servers appear to be down/dead to my connection:

 204.194.232.200
 204.194.234.200

After unchecking the option I rebooted the router and it pulled my ISPs DNS settings - putting me back online...

In another thread Lycan had mentioned that the Advanced DNS servers may have had a bit of a trouble, and would experience some downtime...especially on the East coast.  However, there could be another outage.

Have you tried disabling DNS Relay while Advanced DNS servers are enabled?

My Outpoust Firewall v4 started blocking for 2 minutes IP 204.194.234.200 for port scanning...
