Nighthawk XR500 port blocking

Morning,

 

How do I block ports on my Nighthawk XR500?

 

I want to block 53 to prevent my home devices from using it when I restrict my DNS settings.  Particularly Andriod devices seem to be desgined to circumvent adblocking techniques by using the port when queries with custom DNS settings fail to return results for website (Chrome) ads.
