Even though you set up different DNS IP addresses, DNS Relay proxy on NG routers is in effect thus all connected devices will get a 192.168.1.1 IP address for there DNS. There is no way to disable this DNS proxy on NG routers.
I see you may have a Orbi Pro, something that should be posted here:

As the Pro differs in FW and software. Maybe the Pro version can support disabling of DNS Proxying. You'll need to ask there.
