Router DNS settings do nothing
Being able to set the default DNS for everyone in the house is extremely important.
I set up my router to use Quad9 as the primary DNS; the setting does nothing.
https://on.quad9.net/ says `No, you are NOT using quad9.`
Unfortunately, I am not able to install better firmware, which is at `V1.0.6.16`.
Status: `No new firmware available`

`Google Chrome > ⋮ > ⚙ Settings > 🛡 Privacy and security > 🔒 Security > Select DNS provider` needs to be set to `OS default (when available)`.Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
Enjoy. 📡

`Google Chrome > ⋮ > ⚙ Settings > 🛡 Privacy and security > 🔒 Security > Select DNS provider` needs to be set to `OS default (when available)`.Agreed. Chrome, FireFox, Safari, and Edge all can be set up to use different DNS from the OS (and therefore not the same as the router DNS config).
