WRT1900ACv1 has intermittent interruption on domain resolving

The question is that the result sometimes gets bad address,sometimes gets a long interruption when I ping a domain both on the router and client terminal.

Model Linksys WRT1900AC
Architecture ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l)

You should stick to one method and use one DNS provider, otherwise the result is always uncertain due to a race condition.

uci -q delete dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].server
uci -q delete dhcp.lan.dhcp_option
uci commit dhcp
service dnsmasq restart

This address belongs to a country known for traffic filtering and internet censorship.

If you live in such a counrty, you should utilize DNS encryption or even VPN.
