The router has a DNS configured and works with all other devices.

Public DNS, such as 9.9.9.9, do work.

I'm using OpenRC's netifrc (a script brings up my network interface) on Artix Linux (Arch based).

I’m not sure what this means. You mean that you have multiple devices, and you’ve set multiple of them up to use 192.168.1.1 as a DNS server, and some work and some don’t? Or you just mean that the other devices work in that they can access the Internet, and aren’t using 192.168.1.1 as a DNS server? The former. All my devices use my router at 192.168.1.1 as a DNS server and resolution works on them (smartphone, another PC, yet another smartphone...). For some reason, it's only my Artix system that won't successfully ping domain names. Meanwhile, the package manager (pacman) resolves repo domain fine, so, MYSTERY. xD

Thank for all the advice! I haven't had the time to try any of them yet - having started on another (Commodore 64) project and whatnot - but I'll check them out when I can. :)
