Fortinet with Pi-hole not showing the real client ip

[Victor_Benavides]

Expected Behaviour:

So I have set up a pi-hole on my network, I am running it on a Fortigate 40F and a switch from fortinet as well. Before I switched to fortinet I had the pihole registering all the clients like 192.168.1.30 and so on, depending on the device, so each device connected to the network shows its ip as the client on the pi-hole to understand which device is the one that I should pay more attention to.

Actual Behaviour:

Now that I switched to fortinet, I know they have something similar but I want to use my pi-hole, all the clients are showing as the gateway ip address, and even if its working and blocking ads and such, I do not know which device is generating this traffic easily, for example my laptop might have the ip 10.1.10.55 (VLAN WIFI) and the client ip shown by pi-hole is showing the client as 10.1.1.1 which is the default gateway I set up on fortinet.

Any advice is greatly appreciated as I am kinda new to the network world.

Why do I only see my router's IP address instead of individual devices in the Top Clients section and Query Log?

A nice feature of Pi-hole is that you can see which network devices are sending out the most DNS queries. For every device that is using Pi-hole as their DNS server, you can also see which DNS queries each one has made.
