New Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 fastest, privacy-first consumer DNS service

As far as I know Router setting over-rides windows setting anyway forcing connected devices to use Router configured DNS
It shouldn't. I can't change DNS on my (ISP supplied) router as they have locked it. The ISP can of course do whatever they want but this test shows that at least in my case the settings in Windows has overridden the router settings (as it should).

Weird:
Norton ConnectSafe
You can configure your network router (Wi-Fi or directly connected) to use Norton ConnectSafe.
All computers and devices that connect to the Internet through this router will use Norton ConnectSafe with the selected protection policy.
Will test network adapter configured to use Google DNS and see what happens.

Tested router configured to use Cloudflare DNS and changed network adapter settings in windows to use Google DNS and got the same result as you so now I wonder what is the point of router DNS?

Using the router instead of the setting in Windows is a set it once and all connected devices will use the same DNS settings.

The only way my router can give me DNS is if I turn my PC IP settings to automatic for DNS. If I do that with Cloudflare set in the router, it gives me Cloudflare as the first two DNS and then adds in the ISP DNS under them. Even testing like this, my DNS comes back as Cloudflare with no issues. My router is a modem/router combo in one device from my ISP.
I can see the same on my android using Chrome testing for DNS (Cloudflare, no issues).
I have the router and my PC both set with Cloudflare and it works great.

I found Cloudflare was slower than my Virgin Media default DNS connection using the Gibson DNS benchmark. Site http://www.whatsmydnsserver.com/ shows the default Virgin Media DNS server when DNS settings are set to auto and a Cloudfayre DNS server when I use DNS servers 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1
