I also have a wired backhaul and then I found out that MLO does not enable on nodes that are not the same model. I enabled it in ssh and seems to work but seems the speeds are slower. Even if i am on the main router. Main is GT-BE98PRO and one node is BT10 and third is an AX MINI. I assume MLO...

lol just have not got around to it. and since i have not had any issues i have not even worried with it.

Yeah I have ran the pihole as the WAN dns since GT-AC5300 launch till last week. I have every client named and mac bound with no guest network. I knew it could cause issues, but the only issue i had was the router requesting too many queries too fast. I have noticed the asus router reaching out...

That is strange then. I assume it's something in the router but not sure.

Do you see your phone's IP show up in the system log and what are your DNS for wan and LAN set to? Can you try setting a static IP on your phone and using like 1.1.1.1 for the DNS?

Lol For some reason this container shows both piholes for the amount of blocked domains. It's only 5 million. It's really mostly malware, trackers, ads, and pron. I was more showing the queries and blocked.

That's what i had before and probably will go back. I switched due to the firmware update today for testing. My network is wild and controlling what goes out is ideal lol

I was going off the changelog here and this thread https://www.snbforums.com/threads/gt-be98-pro-dns-director-issue-with-my-pihole.95161/

I figured as much. Thanks

Last thing, it seems since DNS Director is working properly now within this new firmware, I don't have to point the wan dns to the piholes to get the router to use it as the dns. Unless something else is at play?

Anyways, thanks @bennor. Your suggestion of no redirection for the piholes seemed to fix the dns director issue. Cant believe it was so simple. What threw my off was the router basically locking up. I had to unplug everything from the network and then plug in one at a time to see what was...

was not a question. was also mentioning another way, but more convoluted vs @bennor said.

you could just build the list out of 64 clients that you know will use the dns from the router (pcs and laptops), then just have other stuff to keep using the director?

Yes possibly. One is pi5 with nvme and other is qnap nas all e1.s nvme. its just because lol

If one fails so i can switch everything over with the click of a button or two.
