Apologies for Noob questions. I recently installed pi-hole on my Pi 4 and it seems to operate fine on the Pi. I have two other OSX computers that connect via wifi to my router and I would like them to benefit from the pi-hole too.
The router is badged Fastgate from my ISP, Fastweb in Italy, and it does not appear to let me do anything about DNS. It does allow me to deactivate DHCP.
I don't really understand how to set pi-hole to provide the DHCP or how to get the Mac computers to use the pi-hole exclusively. I would welcome step-by-step instructions if there are any available.
Thanks

> Using Your Existing Router For Network-wide Ad Blocking You might not need to use Pi-hole's DHCP server: In many home environments, your router also functions as your DHCP server. In this case, you can often [set Pi-hole to be the DNS server for your network clients in the router's DHCP (or LAN) settings page](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-configure-my-devices-to-use-pi-hole-as-their-dns-server/245), which allows all of your network clients to block ads simply by connecting to the network. Setting it up this way is also what makes Pi-hole very powerful for network-wide ad blocking. W…
You also have the option of manually assigning the Pi-hole as DNS server on the Macs. _ **System Preferences \> Network \> Advanced \> DNS.** _
