Changing DNS Server?

That is not a Telus device. You'll either need to get assistance from your ISP or TP link.
Normally if you set the DNS on your computer specifially, you don't need to touch the modem/router. The PC will pull the DNS data from whichever server you put in the IPv4 and v6 settings. You only need to change the router, if it actually supports it, if you want all devices in the house to use one specific DNS server and not have to change the settings on each device.
I didn't have any problem configuring my modem, it was very easy. And I didn't get my modem from my ISP. My modem allowed me to change the DNS settings, as nothing was greyed out or blocked me from changing them. It's just when I did change them (or rather, simply filled in the DNS server number), the status still showed 8.8.8.8
