Orbi with AdGuard DNS + Circle = purple Orbi

I've been using Orbi with the AdGuard DNS and Circle for the past month or two and it's worked great. Recently, with no firmware update (2.3.5.26 is the latest I have and it's been that way since I updated it when I first got it) I would wake up in the morning and Orbi would be glowing purple with no internet access (DNS issues according to my Windows troubleshooting).

It has working solidly with both, but I'm wondering if I lucked out with it working this way so long. It will works great with the AdGuard DNS OR the Circle enabled, but will "purple out" in a few hours with both.
Any thoughts or am I out of luck using a third party DNS with Circle?

Thanks!
