Model: Deco M9 Plus  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.5.1 Build 20210126 Rel. 62679

In the Deco app I have set 2 manual DNS server entries. These 2 entries display properly in the Deco app and the Deco web admin site. However, all the computers that connect to the deco still get the old DNS server values of 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 .  I have had this issue for about 6 months.

 

Is there something wrong with the Deco firmware and setting your own DNS server values to distribute to clients on the network?

@TpNewb 

Hi, Thank you very much for the update.

I would like to follow up on your case by email.

And except the WAN DNS, if you go to Deco APP>More>advanced>DHCP server—there is another place to set up the LAN DNS

Have you ever changed anything here?

 Hi, Thanks for the feedback.

Did you set up the DNS server under Deco APP>More>Advanced>DHCP server?

What are the primary and secondary DNS servers under IPv4?

By the way, can I have some screenshots that all computers still get old DNS server values?

@TP-Link Yes as I said in my OP I setup exactly as you said (it's the only way). Plus I confirmed it is saved via the Deco app and the Deco admin web site. Yet the DNS server IP distributed to ALL clients are 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

 

And before you ask, I have deleted and restarted all the devices many times. I have also many times tried removing the Wifi network on the devices and re-setup the connection to the wifi network. In all cases, the Deco distributes DNS server values 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1.

 

here  are rhe screen shots you requested.
