What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
This wouldn't be a Quad 9 issue.
Can you access the routers web page at 192.168.1.1 with a wired PC and web browser?
Where did you input quad 9 configuration? Under the DNS settings? I use Quad9 all the time here.
For Iphone issues and Nighthawk app issues, make sure that WiFi Private Address is disabled and Local Network for the NH app is Enabled.
You might factory reset the router and setup from scratch with a wired PC and web browser first.
