Unable to use manual DNS settings LAX20 firmware v1.1.6.34_2.0.52
Hello, My router is Nighthawk LAX20 with firmware v1.1.6.34_2.0.52
I set up my own DNS servers (with DNS AD Blocking) and I wanted to set this to my whole home network.
I have two OrangePI wired connected to router, on both of them I installed and configured AdGuard Home, I can see that they are connected to my network in router options --> connected devices. I changed settings in my router, where I manually set DNS IPs, then after router restart DNS not working, I mean its not using my DNS. I can see 0 traffic/DNS querry on my admin panels.
To make sure that DNSs are working fine I changes network settings in my laptop to my secondary DNS, and everything was working fine, I can see DNS querrys on my server. So its not DNS server fault, its router fault.
Can someone please help me to make this work?

Are you using IPv6? If so, make sure to set that up as well.
I use a similar setup with Pihole and it works fantastic. With that said, its through an orbi and not a LAX.
Without access to an LAX to play with, tougher for me to troubleshoot.
