Model: Archer C6  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: 1.13.6 Build 240430 Rel.54880n(5553)

So the Archer C6 v4 supposedly supports DNS-over-HTTPS

Except… you can’t actually use your own DoH server.

The firmware only allows a tiny list of hard-coded providers. No option to add a custom endpoint.


 

Which means:

  • No self-hosted DoH
     

Basically if your provider isn't on TP-Link’s little whitelist, you're out.
 

And let’s be honest — this isn’t a hardware limitation. The router already performs DoH queries. Adding a custom URL field would take one firmware update.
