    Success!

     

    I'm on the latest firmware: V1.3.1.64_10.1.36 

     

    I did a hard reset and reconfigured the router.  On the page Advanced/Setup/LAN Setup, I changed the router IP to 192.168.10.1 and hit Apply.  Once the router rebooted, I changed the IP back tp 192.168.1.1, turned off the DHCP Server and hit Apply.  Also turned on the DHCP Server on the Pi-Hole.  This got everything working.  Apparently the router wants to see a change in it's IP address when turning off the DHCP Server.  I don't know why.

     

    Thanks to antinode  and schumaku  for your help.

   I agree.

   You might try loading some different/older firmware but I wouldn't
expect much.

Thanks, I'll try older firmware.  But I think you're probably right, it will likely not help.

 

Also, I said the DNS server was working fine on the Pi-Hole.  Not quite true.  Every request shows as coming from the router (192.168.1.1) which decreases the usefulness of the Query Log.  DNS Requests should be forwarded by the router (pass through) rather than answered by proxy.
