Question Wireless Routers That Natively Support DNS over DoH

[privatemike]

Has anyone compiled, or failing that, know of a list of consumer grade wireless routers that natively support DNS over DoH? Searching through the plethora of manufactures and models feels like an exercise in futility.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

DNS vs DoH ?

More information and details needed.

I tend to always run this on end client. The routers cache function no matter if it uses HTTPS or not tends to be flaky.

Why?

Do any of those actually work? Is the set up complex? Performance good or bad?

We're trying to not just regurgitate AI replies.

bill001g, if I understand your reply correctly, enabling DNS over HTTPS (DoH) within Windows 11 Pro will achieve the same on-line security benefits without having to purchase a new router. Yes? / No?
I apologize in advance for my shallow knowledge; it's a generational thing. Mike

Yes you can just use the features in the OS. In theory it is slightly more secure because it is end to end. When you use a router the dns is not secure on your lan....hard to say if that really is a true exposure.

The larger issue I have is dns on routers cause all kinds of strange issue. The theory has been that the router could cache dns results but that does not always work well and modern data centers are using DNS to load balance so you can get different IP at times. It also is dependant on the router firmware being smart and not causing too much cpu load.
I tend to use my router purely to do the NAT function.

The only time I could see it advantage to use the router as a DNS is if you have a device that does not support encrypted dns.

Awesome to know bill001g. Enabling this feature looks straight forward. Would you consider it "good practice" to clear all browsing history and cookies ect from each configured device after implementing just to be sure?
