Cannot reach router admin page now that I'm using pihole

Help
1

Expected Behaviour:

My router is at 192.168.0.1 on my network. By accessing that address in my browser I should be able to reach the router admin page. My pihole is running in a docker container on raspbian bullseye and is configured to be the DHCP server with the router at 192.168.0.1

Actual Behaviour:

Once I started using pihole, I stopped being able to reach the router admin page. The router still manages all the traffic from the network and the pihole is properly blocking about 20% on requests. I can ping the router ip from my desktop. I simply cannot reach the web interface on the router by typing in the address anymore. IF I reboot the router, I will be able to reach the admin page for somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes, before all requests start timing out.

Debug Token:

What is the exact URL you are using in the browser to access the router admin page?

Did you try http://192.168.0.1/?

Thanks for the responses. The exact address is http://192.168.0.1/start.htm. And that works fine just after a fresh reboot of the router for about 10 minutes (like right now). http://192.168.0.1/ also works fine just after reboot, but not after 10 minutes or so (timeframe is not exact -- haven't actually timed it)

yes. That and http://192.168.0.1/start.html (which is the usual address) Both work normally or after a fresh reboot of the router for 10 or so minutes (rebooting the pihole doesn't help)

This is a strong indicator that the problem lies outside of Pi-hole.

But, you can use these tools to verify if Pi-hole is blocking any domains used by the router admin page:

Can you try to disable Pi-hole using the web interface "Disable" button?

If you still can't access the router when Pi-hole blocking is disabled, is a indication the problem is not related to Pi-hole.
