Project: Block ads for all network users...

OzarkEdge

Part of the Furniture
There has to be a lot of ad-blocking experience here... I have none and would appreciate some basic advice to get me started in the right direction. How should I go about blocking ads for all network users... desktop, mobile, TV devices(?)? My preference is to not integrate too many functions into one box so that managing one does not involve the other, if that's an option. I currently use Quad9 DoT.

As you don't run Merlin firmware, if you run a server at home or an RPi I'd suggest Pi-hole with Steven Black's Diversion blocklist.
 
Try AdGuard with DoT. I remember Asuswrt has presets for it.

OK, I'll test this path of least resistance...

AdGuard Public DNS

Option 2: Configure AdGuard DNS manually
Routers
Default servers
AdGuard DNS will block ads and trackers.
IPv4:
94.140.14.14
94.140.15.15

Our server addresses
DNS-over-TLS
Default server
AdGuard DNS will block ads and trackers.
tls://dns.adguard-dns.com

Per some previous DoT example, I'm omitting tls:// from the TLS Hostname(?)
