Advice Request Best practices for setting up a new router: single vs multi-band SSID & firewall security level?

[Marko :)]

I haven't installed YogaDNS yet, and I haven't manually adjusted my device's DNS settings. The result below is entirely dependent on the router settings, which show that DNS changes are effective.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
IPv4 ISP | 8376 (Orange Jordan, JO)
IPv6 ISP | 8376 (Orange Jordan, JO)
Using Control D | No
Resolver | N/A
DNS Protocol | N/A
Approx. DNS Latency | 78ms
DNS Host | cdg-h10
Proxy Authorized | No
Null Routed | No
Approx. Proxy Latency | 92.42ms
Proxy Host | ams-pxy51

And this is my DNS speed test result based on the control D speed test.

Thanks! Your ISP has horrible routing. Instead of being routed to Control D servers in Bucharest (which is closest to you), your ISP routes you to their servers in Paris. Control D used to offer a server in Istanbul, but they got rid of it as it was often down and had terrible hardware.

AdGuard has servers in Istanbul, and yet, you have even worse ping than with Control D. In the end, your best bet is Cloudflare over DoQ. If you want ad blocking DNS, your best bet would be Control D but you'd need to contact Control D support and report routing issue.

Me too with ControlD.

Use ControlD for a few days and see how it performs.

@lokamoka820 @Parkinsond You can contact Control D support (they reply within a day) like they described here. I did few months ago because one Croatian ISP routed users to Amsterdam instead of Frankfurt which resulted in over 50ms latency. Within a week they raised the issue with the ISP which then normally started to route to Frankfurt.
