How did you verify that the Pi-hole DHCP is supplying these DNS servers through Option 6 of the DHCP Offer?

First off I was using ipconfig /all but then I checked a few things out. Long story short I ended up keeping my network seperate because my isp router which was a sagemcom wouldn't honor a dns server. I ended up with a split network and run my testing network by itself with the rasp pi device on it and that works with my netgear routers. Tons of troubleshooting and testing from android/IOS and Windows and this ended up being the best solution.
