    DNS Filter (DNS over TLS, port 853)

    DNS Filter redirects your DNS requests from devices on your LAN to particular exit points, so to speak. So if you have DNS Filter on and set Global Filtering Mode to Router, it forces all DNS requests to go to your host, then if DoT is enabled then your router will make the actual request to the...

    Intermittent DNS failure? Dnsmasq hanging? 384.19 on RT-AX88U

    I haven't had any issue for like a year now using Google DNS on my DoT setting. CF still gives me intermittent errors.

    DNS privacy configuration

    IIRC, when you configure DoT, that particular field (Connect to DNS server automatically) is now gonna be used for when the router first boots up and needs to connect to a time server to set its time. (per RMerlin for the skeptics: http://www.snbforums.com/threads/dot.70386/post-664400) So you...

    Weird DNS(?) issues on 386_3_2

    Which DNS provider were you using? FWIW, I've been using DoT with Google on 386.3_2 all this time and haven't had any issue whatsoever. CF and Quad9 have been unreliable for me in the past (even before 386.3) so I don't believe it's the code base.

    DNS over Tls is it right?

    Think OP meant the items from the dropdown.

    RT-AX86U DNS Problem

    Did you try flushing dns cache on the laptop?

    RT-AC88U about to go out of the window

    Do you have the same SSID set for 2.4GHz and 5GHz? Like you can't expect faster speeds on 2.4GHz if it's really congested. Connect your laptop/phone/etc. to 5GHz and see what you get.

    Force DNS

    Remove the entries under DNS in DHCP Server tab, and turn on DNS Filter, set global filtering mode to Router. That will force all DNS requests to using the entries under your WAN settings.

    384.19 DNS very slow

    What exactly are you using to run DNS on the router? Are you running Unbound? What are filled out in the DNS fields under WAN settings?

    Change MAC address of router to get new IP address assigned from Spectrum Cable?

    FWIW, sometimes you also just get unlucky enough to get assigned an IP where some idiot was monkeying around and got it banned by a random site. Happened to me a few times when I had Verizon Fios. Verizon's system cycles IP addresses pretty frequently for some reason. I'd wake up one day and...

    RT-AX88U distributes itself as a DNS when set up otherwise

    Unbound is just switching the DNS resolution task from someone else (your ISP, Google, CloudFlare, etc.) to your own router. The requests are still sent in the clear, the meta data just aren't captured by a third party resolver (like Google DNS for example, if you use them, they have some info...

    RT-AX88U - DHCP limit is it 64 or 128 devices?

    At that number of devices, what's the point with manually assigning the DHCP lease? Just let the DHCP server do its thing...

    Wifi drops during Google Meet calls

    Maybe this is why my team has had a solid experience with Google Meet. We only do voice and share screens. I honestly like its implementation (work in browser, no software installation, easy to share with clients) over Zoom or other video conferencing solutions.

    Diversion Diversion/Skynet: Amazon Echo Device Issues

    Hmm, mine ping device-metrics-us.amazon.com but they don't seem to be affected when that's blocked. They haven't rebooted or anything.

    Firewall "Network Services Filter" Is Bypassed When OpenVPN Client is Enabled 384.19

    Setting Global Filtering Mode to "Router" should already force all DNS queries to resolve through your router, thus using the DoT server set on the WAN page.
