Synology nas Pihole
Recently Cable upgraded their service that included a pos router. It was suggested I purchase my own. I got a Netgearnighthawk AX5400 (RAX50) which doesn't seem to appear in the above Model list, go figure.
My question to the community is as follows. I'm running a Synology NAS running Pihole. On my previous router I had the DNS of the router pointing to my Synology. I've been on chat with Netgear twice as it seems I can not set the DNS. Could someone out there please help. I'd like to understand why this is so difficult when it worked with a cheap pos cable modem/router the I had before cable upgraded my service. tia:smileysad:

What modem/gateway are you using? Cable modem into router? Your router is connected to something providing internet service. What device is that?
plemans. I finally got everything back to working. I first shut everything down and reset the modem and booted the PC and then the NAS. I then deleted Pihole and it's directories. Reistalled pihole and made sure it was stable as the previous one was stopping and starting again. I then went into the router and it let me set the DNS to point to the NAS, "wouldn't before." I also reconnects a few wireless cams successfully.
My apologies for the confusion on my part as I've had my head stuck in Photoshop for the last 10 years and haven't paid much attention to tech. Old age sucks as far as memory goes. I used to know all of these terms and could breeze right through them.

You can set the dns for the ip off the nas.
I've done it on my pihole as well.

What modem/gateway are you using?
reason you couldn't find yours is you posted in the nighthawk AC forum and not the AX forum.
