- No recent update (and the "Check for Update" says "Your firmware is up to date") - I've got a Win10 machine that gets IP by DHCP and a linux machine that gets a static assignment via "Address Reservation" from the DHCP Server panel. On the Win10 machine, it says "DNS servers: 192.168.1.100, 192.168.0.1" where the first is my pihole and the second is my router (which it lists as its DHCP server, too).

Originally I had nothing set for the secondary:

I'll try setting it to the pihole, too.

  @terziyski I think when I set up the router I wanted to have 192.0.x.x and 192.1.x.x have meanings.  That's why my pihole's at 192.168.1.100 instead of 192.168.0.100.  My LAN settings are IP address 192.168.0.1/255.255.0.0

 

If there's harm in that, I can scale back to only 100 addresses like you suggest.  I don't know what's normal :)

 

EDIT: Oh, and the model title of the page I visit is "Archer C59".

Thanks!  It's working now.  (Or at least I'm at the pihole problem level, no longer router)  I think I was causing multiple problems.  My 192.168.x.x dhcp space meant that I was handing out addresses that the pihole considered "outside the local network".  I need to either tell the pihole to accept DNS requests more than one hop away (scary, though my pihole's behind the router without a port forwarded to it or anything) or tell the pihole what's inside my network.  This may have combined with not having the pihole listed as the secondary DNS server.

 

Thanks again!
