AX73 as AP with static IP = no DNS
I have two AX73 routers setup in Access Point mode and set with a static IP address outside the DHCP scope . DHCP is turned off on the AX73's so it is a pass-through from the main cable modem/router. All the AP clients get their DHCP leases correctly from the main router and can access the internet without a problem. The issue I'm seeing is that WAN led is orange that I assume because there is no DNS entry option when setup with a static address. There is no automatic firmware checking and it won't sync the clock since it can't resolve the time server either. Every other brand router I've configured has DNS as an option when configured with a static IP.
I'm getting nowhere with emailing support and wondering if anyone has come across this or if I'm missing something.
TIA
