I have taken note of the fact that very often the fastest of the fast DNS servers are those using DNS over TLS. When I configure my network to use those. DNSB shows it as my local router vs. as the DOT servers I have chosen. I have searched the net and configured my set up accordingly and tested to check for DNS leaks. Is the problem that I need to configure my PC for DOT directly? Is DOT a fools errand for a home user trying to use DHCP for local devices?

DNS Benchmark v2 is Finished and Available! Guest:
That's right. It took an entire year, but the result far more accurate and feature laden than we originally planned. The world now has a universal, multi-protocol, super-accurate, DNS resolver performance-measuring tool. This major second version is not free. But the deal is, purchase it once for $9.95 and you own it — and it's entire future — without ever being asked to pay anything more. For an overview list of features and more, please see The DNS Benchmark page at GRC. If you decide to make it your own, thanks in advance. It's a piece of work I'm proud to offer for sale. And if you should have any questions, many of the people who have been using and testing it throughout the past year often hang out here.

BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware
To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.
GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.
The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.
You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

@Texas Flyer : Hi “Flyer” 
Android currently builds-in support for DoT... But Windows web browsers and Windows 11 itself, only supports DoH.

Well that explains it. So DNSB will always show the router because the router is forwarding the request using DOT, but DNSB can't see that since Win11 is unencrypted to the router. I guess that leaves me with standard, unencrypted DNS.
Thanks Steve!
Thanks Steve!
