Pi hole stops working after a few days

It looks like the majority of your DNS queries are coming from the Fritz Box IP, but they are unlikely to be originating with that device.

Why do I only see my router's IP address instead of individual devices in the Top Clients section and Query Log?

A nice feature of Pi-hole is that you can see which network devices are sending out the most DNS queries. For every device that is using Pi-hole as their DNS server, you can also see which DNS queries each one has made.

[image] This isn't detrimental to the performance of your Pi-hole; it just provides you with less insight into what's happening on your network. So w…

I do note that your DHCP server (the Fritz Box) appears to be passing out it's own IP for DNS, and not the IP of the Pi-hole:
