XR500 forcing all devices to use router as DNS resolver

Hello all,

 

I recently installed Pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi to use as a local DNS resolver and ad blocker. Normally, in the Pi-hole logs you will see activity broken down by local IP of device (see attachment).  With the XR500 all DNS requests are coming through 192.168.1.1 which according to Pi-hole documentation, is potentially the fault of the router. Does anyone know how I can change this?

 

Thanks!
