MR60 - No option to assign local DNS server on LAN for Pihole
I'm trying to run PiHole on my LAN but the MR60 doesn't seem to have an option to assign a local DNS server. I've RTFM, I've searched the web. I need to keep the Raspberry Pi running PiHole and my NA...
I put my dns settings for my pihole in through the internet setup page.
I do this for both the ipv4 and ipv6 settings.
I don't have a Mr60 so I can't comment on its internet setup page but for all my other netgear routers this has works.
Do you mean where it says Primary and Secondary DNS settings? I tried that but it forces a secondary DNS to be entered. What do you put for that?
I use the same ip address as the pi.
If you're using ipv6, you'll also need to setup the ipv6 info with your pi-holes ipv6 address info in the routers ipv6 dns entry.
This worked, thank you! I didn't think to just add the same IP address for both primary and secondary. Much appreciated. There are some sources on the web that falsely state that Netgear cannot do internal (LAN) DNS assignment.

Thanks for the helpful links.

on some models don't allow it. The fact that your device with your
(unspecified) firmware version does allow it is hardly proof that those
reports "falsely state" anything.
