Model: Archer BE450  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.8 Build 20250806 rel.58586(4555)

I'm reporting an unbypassable transparent DNS proxy on an Archer BE7200. The device intercepts all user-configured DoH and DoT traffic and forcibly redirects traffic to a buried endpoint, ignoring the settings in the Network > Internet > Advanced DNS panel. This constitutes DNS hijacking and prevents the use of third-party parental control and security services. Please provide a firmware update that provides an option to disable this interference.

Most likely the Homeshield if you're using it and have the router tied to a TP-Link account.
