Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

I'm trying to use NextDNS on this router but NextDNS says the device I'm on is using "Cloudfare". I changed the DNS addresses on the WAN settings. Can still go to inappropriate sites so I know it's not working.

  @Abishop1776 I upgraded Firmware, I think restarting the router is mandatory to get the DNS to set properly. Not sure, maybe forward this to the engineers if you think they want to know.

if you use NextDNS, you can use a dns proxy, you can also set the dns server manually under the dns setting on the network's lan interface.
If you are going to use a DNS proxy, the router must be the DNS server for your devices
