Change DNS IP for CGM4331COM

[MarynaT]

Hi, I cannot find the option to change DNS to my custom DNS server on CGM4331COM which I recently received as a replacement for Hitron Coda. 

I'm using my own DNS server hosted locally with an ad filter and configuration for my local devices. Also, I don't want my DNS requests to be sent to Rogers or anyone else for privacy reasons. 

Could you please tell me how I can update my DNS IP address?

You can't.  The Ignite Gateways do not provide any such configuration option.  If you want to use a non-Rogers DNS service, you need to manually configure that into every computer on your internal network.

Your other option is to enable Bridge Mode on the Ignite gateway and install your own router/firewall.

Wow, that's a huge downgrade tbh. I had everything set up perfectly fine with the older version of the modem and now I apparently need to buy a separate device because of this "upgrade". Honestly, I don't have any other explanation rather than Rogers wants to collect my DNS info since changing DNS was available for ages.

Appreciate the quick reply.

Disappointing! I was really hoping to configure the CIRA DNS Firewall once for my entire network.
