Pihole is running on my Pi, I have set its static IP address, and I've gone into my router settings (spectrum model SAX2V1S) and set the IP address to the Pi's (192.168.1.174) and the mandatory second address to a null address, but it's still not working.
All my devices now say they're "connected: no internet" and they are in fact unable to connect to anything.
I can't create a debug token without the ability to connect online
Please take out our debug file as you put your network details to all and everyone.
Check your router settings.
Your router is still the DNS chief in your network 
I can't, spectrum forces both DNS addresses to be different. That's why I set one of them to a null address.
Since one is null and one is my Pi, I don't understand why my router is still the DNS server. Wouldn't my internet work if that was the case anyway? My wifi is only connected to the internet if one of the two addresses is a valid, non-Pi dns, like Google or Cloudflare.
Where did you set the DNS servers?
In the WAN / Internet settings? or in the LAN-DHCP settings?
If your router allows to set the DNS servers in the LAN-DHCP settings, you should change them there and use the original servers in the WAN settings.
It doesn't specify, it just says "DNS Server" and it's the only place it can be done. Due to that I don't know how to change its DHCP to my Pi OR how to turn DHCP off so I can use the Pihole server.
You may be out of luck. Internet comments indicate this model really restrictive on what you can do.
