When I configured DNS manually, the wrong DNS was assigned
I was setting up NextDNS on my Deco router, which required me to enter the NextDNS IP address manually. When I set the DNS address to auto, both the primary and secondary addresses were passed down to the client from the ISP via DHCP without any problems. However, when I configured the DNS address manually, the primary DNS address that I had specified was assigned, but the router IP address was assigned as the secondary DNS address instead. I don't have parental controls enabled.
I found a workaround by specifying the DNS IP in the DHCP server configuration, but I'd still want to see this issue resolved. Thank you.

Hi, thanks for the update.
May I know your internet service provider?
Can you send some screenshots showing that "only the primary DNS address was assigned, but the secondary DNS address was still the router IP address" to support.forum@tp-link.com?

Wait for your reply.
Best regards.

Hi, did you set NextDNS in both the primary and secondary DNS servers under IPV4, such as:
Primary: 45.90.28.232
Secondary: 45.90.30.232
Wait for your reply.
Best regards.

@David-TP Yes, both DNS servers were configured in the Internet Connection settings under DNS Address.

Email sent.
My Internet Service Provider is Chunghwa Telecom/HiNet (AS3462), and I connect via PPPoE/GPON. However, I believe that this detail is irrelevant since I have manually configured NextDNS instead of using the DNS assigned by my ISP.
