Orbi + PiHole DNS problem
Hey everyone, After having to reset my Orbi router this morning after all my late night tinkering yesterday, i've come to you for help. I've installed PiHole on a fresh pi 3B+ and i can reach it...
Hi,
I have a similar setup but moved the DHCP functionality to the Pihole and I also moved the Pihole address higher up into the subnet. Furth octet of the pihole ip address is .28 vs your .2
Additionbally, I also have an external Circle and had to move th DNS and DHCP to the "Unmanaged
group ton prevent arp spoofing for those requests.
Are you able to do a tcpdump on the pihole to see what si aheppeningt at layer 2, 3?
I'm very sorry and it seems I'm getting a piece of humble pie. I've connected my Pi through a cable to the Orbi and it works now. I realised I had chosen eth0 instead of wLan during the install of PiHole.
I've found other people with similar problems with the Orbi and had other problems earlier, so I forgot to look at the most probable culprit first; me.
The problem has thus been solved.
Thank you Bostonplex & Pleemans for even trying to help my overlooking ass.
Glad its working!
I've gotten a bit frustrated at times too as I was running my setup in a container hosted on a windows pc.
