Hi,

I'm using a RT-AC86U (192.168.1.250) connected to the ISP modem who gives to the RT-AC86U this fixed IP
The RT-AC86U acts as DHCP server assigning from 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.150 and I manually assign other devices out of this range
I have a Raspberry Pi running Pi-hole, the rpi has 192.168.2.201 fixed.

on the 86U I'm running stock firmware, up to date Current Version : 3.0.0.4.386_40451-g30f1b6c
on the LAN settings, I set up the DNS to point the rpi IP

Now my problem is that I cannot get the pi-hole to show me hostnames instead of IP addresses, even using the " Conditional Forwarding "

I am a bit confused by the "Local network in CIDR notation" and it seems a "new feature" on pi-hole, since all the posts and info I find on these subjects only show the two other fields....

Any ideas?
 
You should use the router’s LAN IP on the 192.168.2.x subnet for the conditional forwarding. Is it 192.168.2.1?
