My Android: Settings > Network and Internet > Private DNS is set to Android-12345a.dns.nextdns.io where 12345a is your account identifier, and Android- is a prefix that means all logs and analytics in NextDNS will identify that the DNS request came from Android.

Thanks, but when I do this I just don't get an internet connection and get the Private DNS server cannot be accessed message.

If I switch the Private DNS setting off, then it connects fine.

No hotspot or VPN and this is just at home with strong signal.

I'm using a standard NOW TV router, maybe something that I need to do there?

I do exactly the same as Velocio. Maybe double check you've entered the settings correctly. You can generate another profile on your NextDNS account to test another set of settings. Try it on wifi as well as phone network and if neither work it must be something in your settings.

No luck, same issue with another nextdns profile.

When it comes to DHCP or static IP, which option are you using?

I found a post discussing this problem, but I'm not understanding the suggested solution.
