Run PI DHCP server on different IP range

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Configuration

First time trying this. My ARRIS ATT router wont let me modify DNS so I want to try my PiZero as a DHCP server.
Arris router

Device IPv4 Address 192.168.1.254
DHCPv4 Netmask 255.255.255.0
DHCP Server On
DHCPv4 Start Address 192.168.1.64
DHCPv4 End Address 192.168.1.253
DHCP Leases Available 158
DHCP Leases Allocated 32

Pi-Hole 5.0 (192.168.1.242 connected to above router)
DHCP server is Enabled

Range of IP addresses to hand out
From 10.0.2.201 To 10.0.2.251
Router (gateway) IP address
Router 192.168.1.254

Expected Behaviour:
I am expecting to be able to see the Pihole as another connection point in my phones WiFi screen. I do not see it. I do not see any other SSID to connect to.

Actual Behaviour:
Nothing, Looking at dnsmasq,
no address range available for DHCP request via wlan0

Debug Token:

This is a duplicate of your older Cannot make DHCP work - #5 by Bucking_Horn.
The answers given there remain valid.

Why are you trying to run the Pi-hole DHCP server on a different range?

Can you not turn off the DHCP server on the router and enable the DHCP server on Pi-hole with the same range you were using on the router?

Pi-hole can act as a DHCP server, but it is not a router so it won't offer an additional SSID.
