Hi, I tried Cloudflare's DNS with my Asus RT-N18U router and got mixed up in the settings. I have two DNS options: one for WAN and another for DHCP. When I switched the WAN setting to manual and entered both IPs (1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1), nothing changed on my device. However, when I used only the primary DNS (1.1.1.1) in DHCP settings, it showed up as the main DNS on my phone and PC. It seems I might need to double-check the order or configuration. Let me know if you need help!

Adjust the DNS address for the WAN connection. Ensure the addresses remain consistent across your phone and PC.

You may need to reboot your router to apply these changes. I own a TP-Link router and had to restart it following the adjustments.

For checking your DNS settings, I suggest using dnsleaktest.com. During the tests, you should notice Cloudflare appearing as your DNS provider, just like shown in the image above. The IP addresses may vary.
