Most NG routers use DNS Proxy thus you can have the router use custome DNS, however connected clients will always get a 192.168.1.1 (Router IP) DNS for there DNS useage. The Proxy can't be disabled.
I read someone mentioned that there is a telnet way of telling the router to push specific DNS, though not sure if it works on Orbi.

There is a problem with router's DNS (192.168.1.1). It responds for nslookup queries with timeouts, so the web-sites open very slowly. If I manually change clients IPv4 settings router's DNS 192.168.1.1 to provider's DNS 10.1.1.1 or Google's DNS 8.8.8.8, the problem is solved.
