From reading the other thread it seems that you're unlucky enough to have an Xfinity router (Comcast's own one). Sadly from a little bit of Googling, you can't change the DNS settings on those devices so as to use a PiHole:

There are two ways to go here:

  1. Buy your own router that is compatible with Comcast's network (I'm in the UK so don't know US systems to advise on this, sorry)
  2. Buy any cheap router and put the Xfinity router into bridge mode (i.e. make it a fancy modem) and use the replacement router to actually manage your network.

Personally, I'd go with option 1) and get that PoS Xfinity thing out of my network. Just my 2¢!

Whichever option you choose, you will need to know all of your ISP settings to configure the replacement...

Good luck!
