AX3000 Manual DNS setting not taking effect
Good morning everyone. I am using a AX3000 as my main internal router with a AX2400 as a repeater for my downstairs basement. This setup has worked perfectly fine but something I found out the other ...
Lest we stray too far from the original problem. The goal is to configure a DHCP server that will pass specified DNS server IPs in the DHCP assignment packet (option 6), rather than pass the IP of the DHCP server itself. The DHCP settings on my Pi-hole server do not show fields to set the DNS server values:
The original problem was my netgear routers was not honoring a manual dns entry when they was the dhcp server. It would only ever return the router as the dhcp server and dns server. Even when I manually setup a DNS server in the routers settings it would only ever pass down the ip of the router itself instead of what I set. This caused everything to continue to run the old way which is not what I needed for my platform. I just hooked up and programmed my rasp pi device with pi hole as the dns and dhcp server and everything is working just great. I disabled all the stuff in the router as it just didn't work if it was the dhcp server.
