Cannot connect to wifi "No route to host" on clients (my Mac and other devices)

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Expected Behaviour:

After turning off DHCP Server on my Arris BGW210-700 and turning on DHCP Server on the pihole and turning off my wifi network off and back on to connect to the new server I expected to be able to still be on the network. I'm running it on a raspberry pi with Ubuntu server.

Actual Behaviour:

after resetting my wifi network on my mac, it works for a bit until the lease from the pihole takes over and then when entering any address other than my router and pihole it says "cannot connect to server" and when I try to ping anything on my terminal like google it says "No route to host." I have tried reinstalling, and using different DNS servers upstream but it seems to produce the same results.

on my Pi I can ping the gateway and ping itself, on my Mac I can do the same.

entering ip route on my Pi
default via 192.168.1.254 dev eth0 src 192.168.1.231 metric 202
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.231 metric 202
192.168.1.254 dev eth0 proto dhcp scope link src 192.168.1.231 metric 100

Welcome to the Pi-hole community, bennergarrett.

Your ip route output would imply that 192.168.1.254 is your gateway's address.
However, it seems you are distributing 192.168.1.1 to your clients as router/gateway.

Verify that your router is residing at 192.168.1.254.
Then enter that address in Pi-hole's Settings | DHCP. Save and force your clients to dis- and reconnect in order to renew their DHCP leases.

ah thank you! I believe it is fixed now, I saw other users using the 'ip route' but to be honest I didn't quite follow what it was actually showing. It seems obvious now because the pi had full connection to the wifi but none of my devices would connect. I just figured it would automatically put the Gateway in there since it showed me during initialization. Thanks again! that seems to have solved it
