If you don't want to use the AX1800 DNS configure your client devices to receive their IP addresses by the router's DHCP server and set an optional DNSes which you want to use:

 

 

Otherwise you can't block access of your LAN client devices to router's port 53.

I've already configured the DNS settings like you suggest. This definitely works for some devices. However, other devices (like Roku) are hard-coded with their own DNS settings and the user is unable to manually configure it. That is why I want to block port 53.

Now I understand what's the issue, but in this particular case there's no mechanism on the router to accomplish that.
