Configure Smart Hub to have DHCP clients using a custom DNS server.

Hi, I am running pi-hole on my home network (https://pi-hole.net/).

Is there a way to configure my router to have its DHCP clients using my Pi-Hole DNS server (https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-configure-my-devices-to-use-pi-hole-as-their-dns-server/245). They are two existing ways of doing that:

1) Define Pi-hole's IP address as the only DNS entry in the router;
2) Advertise Pi-hole's IP address via dnsmasq in the router

Is it possible to do that with the Smart Hub routeur? or is there another EE routeur more appropriate for this?

Yes, but you may only employ method 1) not 2).

Go to the Advanced Settings > BB > Internet & set DNS Type = Manual & populate the Primary DNS only with the IP addy of the Pi-hole.
