I have a problem on my TP-Link router Archer A6 V2, after I updated the router the CloudFlare Family Dns didn't work on LAN , it doesn't filter adult web content but when Im using wifi or wireless connection it will filter.

Is Archer A6 the main router in the network? Where did you configure the Cloudflare Family DNS, Internet, or LAN on the A6 web GUI? Can I have a screenshot of it? 

 

What's the device connected to the LAN of A6? If it is a computer, try to run Command, then type in ipconfig /all to check what is the DNS server address on this device as follows:

Yes My A6 router is my main router. I set up the cloudflare dns on the router not on computers. See the attached picture

How do you confirm the adult web content was filtered by the setting of CloudFlare Family DNS on the wireless client devices? Is there a way to confirm that? Thank you.

 

BTW, please verify if the NAT Boost on the A6 is enabled or disabled, enable it, then confirm again on the wired devices.

Don't forget kids today are very clever. They might as well as use DNS Over HTTPS (for desktop browsers) or DNS Over TLS (for android) to bypass this type of DNS filtering at router.
