Moderator Note:

1. The availability of DoH and/or DoT may vary by region even for the same model. Please check your local website for more information.
2. The above list might not include all models and hardware versions. It is recommended to keep watching the firmware releases for your router, as all the newly supported features will be listed in the patch notes if/when it is added to your version.

3. DoH would not be available when the router works in Access Point mode. Visit this FAQ to know more about the difference between Access Point Mode and Router Mode.

 

 

Introduction and Configuration

 

DoH/DoT Introduction

DoH (DNS over HTTPS) and DoT (DNS over TLS) are two methods that enhance the security and privacy of DNS queries in network communications.

DoH encrypts DNS queries within HTTPS traffic, making them indistinguishable from regular web traffic and difficult to monitor.

DoT uses a dedicated TLS connection for DNS messages, ensuring they are secure from eavesdropping and tampering.

 

DoH/DoT Configuration

You can go to Advanced > Network > Internet page to enable DoH or DoT.

 

  • For AX and BE series, refer to the screenshots below.

 

  • For AC models, refer to this screenshot:

Note: There are 3 built-in DoH Servers: dns.quad9.net, dns.google, and cloudflare-dns.com, you can choose one at a time.

 

For more details about the DoH and/or DoT configuration, please refer to How to Configure DoH/DoT on a TP-Link Wireless Router.

@Kedare 

 

You are correct. EasyMesh can only extend the main wireless network or build up a mesh network via Ethernet Backhaul. It doesn't extend the Guest Network or IoT Network at this moment. This has been forwarded as a feature request to our developers for consideration. 

 

This latest official firmware has added support for Alexa as stated in the firmware release notes. Can you please confirm if you can add the main C6 to Alexa by temporarily powering off the satellite C6 and RE315 from the network and only leaving the main C6?

Hey guys. I have come across 2 problems. With archer c6 4.0 please fix. 1. Unable to disable dynamic dns. The only option is tplink. I want to disable it completely. I don't want remote access of any kind. Going old school. 2. Group key interval is set to 0 by default for some reason. It should at least be 3600. Changing it greatly improved by speed and removed any issues

  @Bigboobselephan 

 

If I am not mistaken, the two things you've mentioned are just like that on all of TP-Link's modern wireless routers.

@Kedare Is your C6 V4 an EU version or a US version? I guess the latest official firmware for the US may not be available at the moment.

 

Did you install the firmware via online upgrade or via local upgrade?

@balakrishnan111 You're correct. As far as I can confirm, the latest official firmware for the US version is not available yet. But I believe it'll be available soon.
