TP-Link Archer BE230 V1 - DoH/DoT Not Working Properly with NextDNS

Device: Archer BE230 V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.3 Build 20241211 rel.47943(5553)

I'm experiencing issues with DoH/DoT on my Archer BE230 V1 when using NextDNS. The router either fails to connect entirely, or on rare occasions when it does, it does not send the client list properly.

Issues Observed:

  1. Intermittent Connection: The router only connects to NextDNS once in a while (if at all).
  2. Unidentified Devices: Even when connected, NextDNS does not recognize individual clients, despite enabling "Authorize Third-Party Services Client Identification" in the settings.
  3. No Error Feedback: The DoH/DoT settings page does not indicate whether the connection is failing, making troubleshooting difficult.

Steps Taken:

  • Enabled DoH/DoT with NextDNS
  • Verified NextDNS setup via CLI on other devices (works fine) but not on this router so the dns itself is functional
  • Enabled "Authorize Third-Party Services Client Identification" (no change)
  • Checked logs for DoH/DoT failures (no clear errors shown)

Is anyone else experiencing similar issues? Any workarounds or potential fixes? Would appreciate any input from the TP-Link team as well.

Thanks!

Hello @Yesrab, thank you for asking the community.

 

How about choosing the built-in DNS servers? Will they work?

 

If the built-in DNS servers are working as expected but the NextDNS doesn't work, please provide a screenshot of the page when it indicates a failure. Thanks.

 

Who is your internet provider? Are you able to access the internet properly without the DoT/DoH configuration?
