Your debug log shows your Pi-Hole working normally. The Pi-Hole is on ethernet, and it is up to the router to handle and combine the traffic from both wired and wireless clients. There is likely a setting in your router that you have missed, where wireless is handled differently.

Just a side note, you have added a number of block lists to your Pi-Hole and have some malformed domains in your gravity list. You might want to look carefully at the contents of your block lists and eliminate those that aren't appropriate for Pi-Hole (which uses the HOSTS format).

I do have DHCP turned off on my router, which is a netgear nighthawk x4s R7800, I do have DHCP turned on in pihole. I can't find anything on my router that would keep my wireless devices from using it. I can ping it just fine from wireless devices but when I do a nslookup, it can't pull the name of the pihole, but it shows the IP address of website and the IP address of pihole

Can you give me an example of "HOSTS format" please?

A plain domain on a line by itself:

How do I add additional block lists to Pi-hole?

Pi-hole's Default Block Lists List Formats It's very important that whatever lists you decide to add to Pi-hole are in HOSTS format. Pi-hole's knows how to parse these lists. As you'll see below, things like Adblock Plus' EasyLists can't be automatically imported into Pi-hole. If you are interested in adding additional domains to block, check out WaLLy3K's blocklist compilation. Easiest way to add additional lists UPDATE: As of version 3.0, adlist management can now be done via the web U…

So something like this will not work, right?

[jfb]

That will work. One domain per line - this is in HOSTS format.

Would you happen to know what setting on this router is separating pihole from wireless devices?

Look in the wireless settings, and give the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands the same SSID and password. On that router, there may be an option to combine them - if so do that.

[cpugeek1999]

I already have it set that way.

also, the the only way i can access it from wireless is if I type the IP address of it.
If I do it on a wired, i can type http://pi.hole/admin or the IP address

I'm not sure if this would help but 10.0.0.2 is my pihole

@cpugeek1999

the only way i can access it from wireless is if I type the IP address of it.
If I do it on a wired, i can type http://pi.hole/admin or the IP address

This is because the wireless clients are not using the Pi-Hole for DNS. From one of those wireless clients, what is the output of nslookup pi.hole

[cpugeek1999]

10.0.0.2 is pihole

[cpugeek1999]

here is from a wired connection if it helps.

[cpugeek1999]

it still does not block ads on wireless devices
