Have two access point set up and may be causing the problem.
Actual Behaviour:
Netgear Router + Netgear wireless router (access point) + Netgear extender (access point)
10.0.0.10 (Pi-hole)
DNS is set inside the router
It's not blocking any ads; also blacklist a website and it didn't block it.
@superchuc What are the exact model numbers of each of your Netgear HW? Is the "Netgear wireless router" directly connected to the "Netgear Router" by Ethernet? Is the "Netgear extender" connected back to the "Netgear wireless router" by a wireless connection? Are both the "Netgear wireless router" & "Netgear extender" configured as bridges?
Thanks for the reply! I have a C3700-100NAS as my router (disabled the wifi) and R6700v3 as my main wifi. EX3700 is another wifi for my smart devices. Both R6700v3 and EX3700 is directly connected to the router. All Netgear devices are bridged together under the same subnet.
i think i know why it didn't work. i needed to clear the cache on my browser. i have set my pi-hole DNS automatically to my router so every devices that connect to my network should route to that DNS. everything is working now. thank you!
