I previously as a working pi-hole system, with an all-in-one TP-LInk 8960 modem/router/wifi (192.168.1.1) and NAS (192.168.1.10) wth dockerized pi-hole (192.168.1.20)
But my DSL is so slow that I decide to replace it with 4G.
Now I struggled to have pi-hole works again.
My setup:
Zyxel router (WAN: 192.168.0.2, WAN gateway: 192.168.0.1, WAN DNS: 8.8.8.8, LAN: 192.168.1.1, DHCP: on, WIFI: on)
NAS (192.168.1.10) with dockerized pi-hole (192.168.1.20)
With this setup, I can navigate to the web, but pi-hole is not working.
As soon as I configure Zyxel WAN DNS to 192.168.1.20, nothing works anymore.
I guess pi-hole should be in the WAN domain (192.168.0.*)
Do you have any idea how to set-up?
Maybe it's impossible, and the solution is to install pi-hole on a dedicated rpi/odroid and plug it directly on the 4G router. (192.168.0.XX)
No, there is no LAN DNS settings on the Zyxel, only WAN DNS.
And what if I disable DHCP on the Zyxel, and enable pi-hole one? (with gateway set to
192.168.1.1)
But no android devices could connect to the wifi router now !
I googled for it, and some guys have the same issue.
I then try to set the router in AccesPoint mode, but still no luck with android smartphones as soon as I set DHCP in pi-hole.
So I ordered a new router (tp-link C5 archer and hopes it'll work.
thanks
