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.
You can avoid that by using the same Wi-Fi network name and password that your current network uses. Your devices won’t know the difference.
Gotcha. That makes sense!
Good luck. I literally went through something similar a few weeks ago. It took a little time but my entire network runs better now. You got this!
Thank ya! Networking is very confusing for me and I’ve been tinkering on windows and Linux machines for decades 🤪 always something to learn
