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."

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.

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.

You'll enter the servers IP for the docker pihole address into the netgears DNS address for internet setup. showing pictures of what you're doing and what happens helps

I hope you don't mind. I tried to find the AX model forum but still not seeing a forum list. either I'm blind or there is not a way to get there.
Had a recent set back. was trying to get my wireless Raspbery pi connect and swapped the two DNS entries to see if puting it as primary would work. When doing so the dns returned as blank. I forget what I did to get the entries to stay. when I hit apply and the page reloads, they are gone.

I just tried it on a RAX200, an RAXE500, and a RBK752 (don't have your model) and it all worked fine on mine.
Have you tried a different browser/pc?
