Changing DNS settings

Hi dear Xfinity people, I would like to be able to change my DNS settings without adding additional hardware and hooking up another router to my network, I do not understand why this option is locked down for customers that have the know-how, I think this option should at least be available on the gateway admin panel.

@XfinityDilary The OP was not asking about his LAN settings.  He is asking about changing the DNS settings on the WAN side.

... I do not understand why this option is locked down ...

Because they find it useful to know what sites their users are visiting, and locking their gateways into their DNS servers gives them that. I doubt they'll be giving it up any time soon.
