Every month or so all my devices lose internet and the only way to connect them all back is to disconnect them from the DNS server that Pihole is running.
I set my Pihole to have a static IP but for some reason after around a month or maybe longer, it just fails. This has happened 4 times over the last while and the only fix is to essentially uninstall everything on my Pihole, disable it, and then reconfigure it from scratch again.
I’m not sure what’s going on so any help would be appreciated.
Plug a pc straight into the router and do an ipconfig /all. It will tell you the router gateway if you don’t have a static ip. Go to the gateway ip and turn off dhcp.
Then go to your server dhcp and put a dhcp exclusion for the pi hole ip and anything else you have static’ed
This doesn’t work for me unfortunately :/ I suspect my router needs a factory reset since I’m not able to log into it at all
