My hardware
A macbook
3 Android Devices
1 Google Home Mini
1 Amazon Echo
I have purchased this kit https://uk.pi-supply.com/products/pi-hole-kit-network-wide-ad-blocker
I have connected the kit to my HDMI monitor and Externa Keyboard mouse, for now, to set up.
My router is Binatone DT920w something similar to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2__wk_Yol8
My Kit is connected to my router via LAN cable. Both are on same Wi-Fi.
I have read this guide How do I configure my devices to use Pi-hole as their DNS server? BUT I'm unable to know how to configure my router to use Pi-hole.
I have these two DHCP related screens in my router.
And
Please help me.

Just put the IP address of Pi-hole into 'DNS Servers', simply replace the existing default value.
How to know IP address of Pi-hole?
Ok I got ipaddress by typing
ping pi-hole
and replaced the ID in my router
but ads are still displaying on browser on my Macbook

You have a lease duration of 72 hours, so if you did not renew the lease and flush the DNS cache on the MacBook, it will not use the new DNS.
System Preferences > Network > Advanced > TCP/IP > renew lease
Then flush the DNS cache with this terminal command on the Mac:
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
Your DNS tab on the network preference pane should show the DNS address of the Pi-Hole at this point. This example shows two Pi-Holes in parallel, with the IP for each.
If needed, this command shows the order of the nameservers that your Mac is using:
scutil --dns
