Model: Archer C7  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.1.2 Build 20210125 rel.37999(4555)

Hey guys,

 

I'm trying to change my DNS server on my Archer C7 to my Raspberry Pi running Pi-Hole, which I have given a static IP address, to remove ads while I am browsing.

 

Unfortunately I am unable to change the DNS server IP to my Raspberry Pi (192.168.0.100), I have added a picture of the error below.

 

 

After some research, I believe this is a security feature to stop you using a DNS server which is on the same subnet called DNS Rebind Protection. However, I cannot find a way to turn this off.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Apparently you need to go into the submenu "DHCP Server" and put the IP address of the Raspberry in the DNS field(s) there.
