I decided to reinstall and it is working now. I think when i configured it before i told it to look at eth0. It also grabbed the ip. I have not rebooted the pi since the installation last week so I think when i rebooted it today it checked eth0 for the ip but couldn't find it. I chose wlan0 this time and after running debug it looks good.

\*\*\* [DIAGNOSING]: Networking  
[✓] IPv4 address(es) bound to the wlan0 interface:  
192.168.1.9/24 matches the IP found in /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf

[✓] IPv6 address(es) bound to the wlan0 interface:  
fe80::ad12:731d:8217:79af does not match the IP found in /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf ([Use IPv6 ULA addresses for Pi-hole](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/use-ipv6-ula-addresses-for-pi-hole/2127))

^ Please note that you may have more than one IP address listed.  
As long as one of them is green, and it matches what is in /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf, there is no need for concern.

The link to the FAQ is for an issue that sometimes occurs when the IPv6 address changes, which is why we check for it.

[i] Default IPv4 gateway: 192.168.1.1
