Running PiHole with Zyxel Multy X Wifi has certain issues.

Smoker14

Virgin Media Superhub connected to the main Zyxel Multy X in the lounge's WAN port in modem mode. There are 3 other Multy X devices operating as WiFi access points across the house.

One of these is plugged into an Ethernet port in the study and has PiHole installed on it.

I have DHCP Server turned off and a static IP configured on PiHole (which I reserve in the Multy X config).

Set the IP of the PiHole as my primary DNS server in the Multy X settings.

The Multy X re-my ip's entire network in less than ten seconds (EG taking from 192.x.x.x to a 10.x.x.x network).

There are some discussion about this issue, maybe its because the DNS server IP address is the same as lan subnet

Hello all,

I have now put this on the Consumer Ideas area of the forum at https://community.zyxel.com/en/discussion/13959/ability-to-run-pihole-with-multyx-and-have-a-local-dns-resolver-that-is-different-to-the-router/p1?new=1
       - I could not find it as a customer idea request before now back to 2020.

Please give it a like there if you would like this feature to be added to the MultiX product.

Kind regards,
     Tony
