    Best setup for a wifi extender

    Sorry for being dumb but how does the repeater know which signal to extend?

    Solved RT-AC68U: In-router DNS resolution issues

    Is it ok that I set the WAN DNS to my pihole and the Quad9 DNS?

    Best setup for a wifi extender

    Awesome thanks for that. I've been researching and found this Is this only for asus routers in repeater mode? I would assume I connect the router to the repeater in some way and it extends the signal. How do you connect it? Do you connect it in the repeater's settings somehow?

    Best setup for a wifi extender

    Nothing man it's a very small house unfortunately. Sorry man I don't know what that is but I will look into it I think an Extender will be best for me atm then. I know you say any brand but any that you would suggest for Asus router? Thanks

    Solved RT-AC68U: In-router DNS resolution issues

    Wow man thanks that is great info! I'm curious is my setup ok in your eyes? 192.168.1.8 is where my pihole is located and I don't have DNS director enabled. I use this VPN and after setting it to Strict for Accept DNS I am getting no more DNS leaks on my guest and home network, is this...

    Best setup for a wifi extender

    Honestly I hate to be awkward but if you saw my house you would realise it's impossible to set it up that way. There's a long hall way to the area that gets no signal and inbetween I'd literally have to put the router on the floor just for it to be inbetween both areas.

    Solved RT-AC68U: In-router DNS resolution issues

    I know this is 2 years old but no one is answering my new post. Is there any reason we should set the DNS to those? I don't understand. How does this get your network to traffic through Pihole? My first DNS is Pihole and the second is Quad9 and it seems to work fine.

    Best setup for a wifi extender

    Interesting. I want to maintain that config with yazfi, surely they can be maintained in some type of setup? My router is located on the other end of the house because it has to be connected to my Raspberry pi and my whole office setup. I have 4 ethernet cables connecting to consoles and other...

    Pihole/Yazfi with guest network

    After research and watching the Pihole when I have a second DNS added, if I'm honest it gets just as much traffic with or without the second DNS listed. So it's not too bad. I hear that over time after PiHole caches queries it can take them much faster than the 2nd DNS anyways! The issue now is...

    Best setup for a wifi extender

    My main concern is does this change any of the configuration when the extender middlemans the network? Or will all my configuration persist? What would you personally suggest out of those two and which would be more cost effective? Thanks

    Best setup for a wifi extender

    I use an RT-AC86U and don't get good signal at the other end of my house. What is a good option for extending the signal? I have read that buying a cheap asus router and using it as a node would do the job. I have VPNs and specific settings that I would like to maintain on my network, is this...

    Pihole/Yazfi with guest network

    I think I figured it out I set "Forward local domain queries to upstream DNS" and it seems to be working on the guest network.

    Pihole/Yazfi with guest network

    I have an Asus AC86U and a raspi with umbrel and pihole installed. My router has the DNS set to the pihole DNS and another DNS to use to resolve in case the first DNS isn't available. I do realise this means that both are used no matter what but it saves my network from crashing if the first...
