We had other users reporting their Netgear router's as being not very cooperative when it comes to customising DNS. ☹

As for a), it seems you currently have not configured Pi-hole as your upstream DNS server yet (or no longer?).

If your router supports it, b) would be the preferred way.

However, your router's _LAN Setup_ screenshot doesn't seem to expose any DNS related settings to be distributed by DHCP.

As your screenshots look similar to those of another recent user, you probably should check [No internet connection when setting DNS through Netgear N300 router Firmware V1.1.2.18 - #16 by devinberg](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/no-internet-connection-when-setting-dns-through-netgear-n300-router-firmware-v1-1-2-18/30380/16) and see if disabling your router's DHCP server and using Pi-hole as both DHCP and DNS server would work for you as well.
