Privacy warning on iPhone when on AX4200 WiFi Mesh System (RBK753) network
I've noticed that when looking at the wifi setting on my ios devices that there's now a privacy warning when I'm on my home wifi. The wanring is: This network is blocking encryted DNS traffic.
Does anyone know what setting I need to change on my RBR750 to get rid of it?
My internet search for this situation turns up a number of possibilities, including "restart the iPhone".
There are also questions about whether the iPhone is running a VPN and if Parental Controls are enabled on the iPhone or router.
I know of no 'setting' on an Orbi router that needs to be changed.
Regular DNS uses port 53. Encrypted DNS uses either port 443 or 853 (there are two versions of encrypted DNS). Orbi does not block any of these ports.

Do you have Privacy Address disabled on the iPhone, this will appear if this feature is disabled.
It may also appear if you have WPA and TPIK set on the RBR. Be sure to set WPA2 and AES only.
No. Privtae wifi address on iphone is enabled and I'm using WPA2-PSK [AES] security setting on the RBR
