i want to block certain websites via my plusnet account but i converted from my original plusnet router to a deco mesh. will this affect the controls that plusnet can enforce?

Once you have enabled safeguard in the portal, you will need to update the DNS servers in your Deco system to the safeguard ones found here https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/about-dns-server-and-website-settings/

There are also other options like NextDNS and OpenDNS to achieve the same things.

Whatever the router, if it is configured to "Get settings from the ISP" will not that deliver the correct IP addresses?
