For now, I'd settle for bypassing midco's router.
Would turning off dynamic DNS help?
I expect I'd have to tell something what DNS server to use.
The router is labeled ARRIS and is at 192.168.0.1 .
Anyone else stuck with it?
I don't recall what issue you're trying to resolve. However, if you want your
Fedora system
to use a different DNS server/service than your router is supplying via DHCP it is easy to
accomplish.
If you're using the NetworkManager GUI you can select a "Method" of
"Automatic (Addresses Only)".
This will result in your system getting its IP address assignment from the router as it
normally
would. But, you'd manually enter the DNS server you want to use.
Examples of public DNS servers are....
Cloudflare: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
Google: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
Then, assuming your ISP doesn't block using them, you'd be using a public DNS
server.
