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.
Yeah I tried doing that initially. It’s a Bell Homehub3000 and all the login addresses suggested online that I tried were no dice. I probably have to factory reset the router but that would mean redoing my entire smarthome and IOT setup which I’m really not looking to do 😅
That’s suck. I actually had similar issues where the router’s login page would refuse to log me in, even though I actually can login to the router using SSH. No other fix but to reset the router and start again, but time I export the router’s settings (most router has settings import/export feature) after I got everything setup so I don’t have to do it from scratch when the router crap out again.
For me it’s as if there is no router login page which is kiiiiiilling me haha. All of my silly issues would be gone if I could just set a hard static IP for my server 😄
