Is there any router side solutions for YouTube adds? I want to block for my family, but they don't see the point.

Nope. Youtube ads are served from the same domains as the videos so there is nothing you can to to block them via DNS. Your best bet is just installing Ublock for them. Now a days an ad blocker is a security necessity anyways.

Installing uBlock is so quick, all you need is 30 seconds of their consent to lean over their shoulder and install it. The whole process can be faster than the actual ad break, in some cases.

Doesn't really work for all "embedded" devices, though. Phones, consoles, sticks, etc. all come with their own apps and there's unfortunately not always a reasonable way to install solutions there.

for phones you can use firefox to get ublock on mobile and youtube revanced for an ad-free youtube app :)
