Ads galore on devices after installing. Is this to be expected? Does it need to run a few days?

If you're missing the Advanced/Advanced Setup/IPV6 option (where you can literally disable it) then I don't know wher eit could be as I don't have that negear device.

In windows, is a lot simpler to disable it, Just go to the properties of the network adapter and remove/uncheck IPV6.

If there is no IPv6 solution for this type of modem, try enable below option:

But dont enable below one:

And let Pi-hole take over DHCP for your network:

Copy IP range and gateway from the router DHCP settings over to Pi-hole.
Release DHCP lease on the Win PC:

ipconfig /release

And renew:

ipconfig /renew

And check DNS servers assigned:

ipconfig /all

EDIT: ow is better to enable Pi-hole DHCP first before disabling the router DHCP!
EDIT2: ow and disable as many IPv6 settings on the LAN side as possible (dont touch the WAN/Internet settings) !

Wow man..... i think this worked. I went to speedtest.not and no adds popped up and my Pihole is going crazy! Before i unchecked that box the % blocked was at 3% and its already at 23.4%. So by doing this does that mean sites that are using IPv6 are not accessible? This is cool seeing the Pi blocking! Just have to confirm later it is working on my mobile as well!

Thanks!

Yes. That is correct, however I wouldn't concern over that issue right now as we're still rocking them IPV4s more than we do IPV6s, and the domains that are on IPV6 are definitely on IPV4 too.

To make my point:
https://ipv6.google.com/ will not load any more (unless IPV6 support is active and working).

That might be a bit more tricky as I don't think you can disable IPV6 on the phone :slight_smile:

I got this far and ran into this

Not sure what the ethernet 2 is. I have vpn nord but it is disabled. Has been a few days because i thought it was causing me a problem too so i just left it off

No worries.
Just as long as you see IP details (IP address/DHCP/DNS server) for the main "Ethernet" interface when running ipconfig /all

... after ipconfig /renew to get a new DHCP lease.

Ok cool. I did ipconfig /all and i see my IPv4 address, i see my DNS server (my Pi) and the line that says DHCP Enabled it says No. That sounds right?

C:\>ipconfig /all | findstr "Server"
   DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.2
   DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.2

And:

C:\>nslookup pi.hole
Server:  noads.dehakkelaar.nl
Address:  10.0.0.2

Name:    pi.hole
Address:  10.0.0.2

Looks good.
Is that with everything IPv4 and IPv6 related settings on the Win PC set to auto ?
Enable IPv6 again on the win pc but set everything to auto.

EDIT: missing a DHCP server line though thats a bit strange if Pi-hole does DHCP now.

No In IPv4 i have it set to manual and i entered the Pi IP in the DSN section and filled in the gateway and ip address. I deactivated the IPv6 by right clicking network and going to properties and clicking the IPv6 tab to deactivate it.

See:

And make sure IPv4 settings are set to auto as well.

Ps. with that last screenshot you again changed "Server" into the IP!
Cant see DHCP server that way.

ipconfig /all | findstr "Server"

took a while to respond because when i changed back to auto and engaged IPv6 the internet dumped on me. this site error kept coming up that the site was corrupted and wouldnt let me send message. Then i lost all internet so i changed back to manual in windows and turned IPv6 off again in network properties and restarted PC and router.
server

you want me to type server? nothing happens. Im going to feel real dumb if theres an actual server address im supposed to put there lol

Pi hole is definitely all over the PC now. blocking a ton of things. Not my mobile though

ipconfig /all | findstr "Server"

The capital S !
Small details :wink:

I dont know.
If you cant get Pi-hole to do DHCP for your network, it seems getting another router is the only solution.
But dont give up yet.
Maybe someone tags along that can help you with that type of router.

haha well this has gotten me a lot farther than i was yesterday. Pi's at 30% blocked. I can see it is recognizing my TV because there are a lot of red Samsungads,com lines buzzing up. Just not my mobile. but i will keep messing with it and like you said maybe someone with the same problem figures it out too.
Thanks for the help!

I think your router is set to use your ISPs DNS. Might try selecting "Use These DNS Servers" and put your PIHole IP into the boxes on the right
