Roku 3 DNS help

Hey guys

I just got my Roku 3 today and I see I cant change the DNS on the device itself . Im not a big fan of changing the dns on the router...so is there anyone with a alternative solution?

Thanks!

Just suck it up and change your router settings - you're going to have to change a lot more than just DNS while you're there.

Meanwhile, I'll take the Roku off your hands if you'd rather buy something else. PM me if that's the case.

No, and netflix is hard coded to use google dns so you will have to block that too.

You have no other option but to change settings on your router. You'll need to also set up static routes to intercept and block Google DNS requests, otherwise Netflix and other services won't work.

Ok well one question... will it interfere at all with my ping when playing games?
