Help RT-BE86U with Pi-Hole

mac138

New Around Here
I have upgraded my router from AX86U to BE86U. I have no end of issues getting it work. I took screens shots of previous router config. Expected it work.
I think the router not fit for purpose!
The following setting worked with my AX86U
  1. Skynet blocking Home Assistance, remove skynet and gone back to stock firmware for HA to work
  2. DDNS would not work in Synology Nas, I have changed the DNS IP from Pi-hole to Router IP (192.168.0.1).
  3. PI Hole (unbound installed) no longer work following thhttps://www.asus.com/support/faq/1046062/

What router firmware are you using now?
The RPI needs to have a static Ip address not a Manually Assigned address in the router.
The WAN DNS Server settings needs to be set to the IP address of the same provider. For example: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 or 9.9.9.9 and 149.112.112.112 or 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
The Pi-Hole IP address should only be in the LAN/DNS Server 1 or 2.
