Issue I'm having
I have Pi hole installed but having problems adding it to my network; I have a telus T3200M modem ( telus being my provider)and cannot find anything in the admin modem page about dhcp to either turn it off or add a add a static ip address. Is there someone here that has added pi hole to a telus modem?
Is it this device?
Yes, thats the modem/router I'm using.
You may want to read Pi-hole's documentation on how to make your network take advantage of Pi-hole.
Screenshots of your Telus 3200M router seem to indicate that you should be able to distribute Pi-hole's IP address as local DNS server via LAN IP and DHCP settings.
Since that information is sourced from a a third-party, you may want to verify whether these settings are indeed available on your specific router model.
You should also have been able to set a static IP address for Pi-hole during Pi-hole's installation. That's also the IP you have to supply in your router.
In case you didn't do so, you may be able to set up a DHCP reservation for your Pi-hole device in your router.
Either variant would assure that Pi-hole is accessible via a fixed IP address.
You can list IPv4 addresses as currently assigned to your Pi-hole device by running the following command on your Pi-hole device:
ip -4 address show
Hey Bucking_Horn, thanks for the info; I've added pi to dhcp reservation list and also added pi hole static ip address to dns server
; not sure what I do with ip4 though; apart from the ipv4, is there anyhting else I need to do or done correctly?
