Hi all,
I just configured a fresh PiHole and use PiHole running as DHCP.
This is because I do not seem to be able to let NETGEAR ORBI run as DHCP with PiHole.
Everything if working so far, ads are being blocked, however, only a third of my devices have proper client names. the other ones are either the IP or unkown.
Is there a way to change that? I tried editing the hosts list but it did not change anything on PiHoles end.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Please upload a debug log and post just the token URL that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:
pihole -d
or do it through the Web interface:
Tools > Generate Debug Log
attached is the debug. thanks a lot for your help!
You have 2 DHCP servers running on your network, offering different DNS servers to clients.

Turn off the router DHCP if you intend to use Pi-hole for DHCP.
I did that now. Sorry for the oversight.
After you renew the DHCP lease on all network clients, they should all be using Pi-hole for DHCP and Pi-hole should be able to identify clients by IP.
If you don't renew leases, then the problem should resolve in a day as all the existing leases naturally expire and are renewed:
lease-time: 86400 ( 1d )
renewal-time: 43200 ( 12h )
rebinding-time: 75600 ( 21h )
