Can't accsess admin page from wifi, but ok on ethernet

Help Community Help

The issue I am facing:
pi-hole is installed and working great. I can access the admin page from a device that has ethernet connection to the switch, but not working from any device on the wireless, both on the same subnet

Details about my system:
I have half the network on wired and the other half on wifi, simple 192.168.xxx.xxx network
Wireless router serves as DHCP and pi-hole address is set as DNS in the router and all devices use the router as DNS.
network:
ISP > Wireless router > switch ( pi connected to the sitch)

What I have changed since installing Pi-hole:
nothing, cots install.

My wireless devices have no problem accessing other servers on my network ( wifi to LAN)

Run from a PC or laptop that is connected via wifi, what's the output of

nslookup pi.hole

nslookup flurry.com

user@computer:~$ nslookup pi.hole
Server: 127.0.0.53
Address: 127.0.0.53#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: pi.hole
Address: 192.168.0.208
Name: pi.hole

user@computer:~$ nslookup flurry.com
Server: 127.0.0.53
Address: 127.0.0.53#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: flurry.com
Address: 0.0.0.0
Name: flurry.com

so the pi hole address checks out

That output shows your client to use a local stub resolver at 127.0.0.53, and that stub resolver in turn correctly uses Pi-hole for DNS.

It confirms that your wifi client has no issues requesting DNS resolution through Pi-hole, in particular that it can resolve pi.hole successfully.

On that client, what is the exact URL you are using to access Pi-hole's web UI?
What is the exact error message your browser is showing?

I use the same for wired/wireless

http://192.168.0.208/admin

error:
ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE

Please upload a debug log and post just the token URL that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:

pihole -d

or do it through the Web interface:

Tools > Generate Debug Log (mark the upload checkbox)

So I made a chang to the router, enabled smartswtichin for 2.4/5 and I can now accsess the admin splash page, however as I am looking into it, the pi hole is not working for any of my wired devices, its only blocking for the wireless connections.

Your debug log shows your router is using lease-time: Infinite.

Also, your router is advertising itself as DNS server:

      dns-server: 192.168.0.1
      router: 192.168.0.1

Did you try to renew the DHCP lease for the wired devices?

ahh ok ...so I disabled "DNS Relay" and changed the DHCP lease to " 1440(but it still shows as infinite)

I re-ran the debugger, showing DNS as the pihole now.
