SAGEMCOM FAST 5364 - can't change Primary DNS address to use local Pi-Hole DNS filter

I've only just noticed that my DCHP information given out to my equipment has changed.  I'm running firmware SG4K100206 and I was previously able to set my Primary DNS server to be on my local network i.e. 192.168.1.3.  I run a Pi-Hole DNS filter at this address.  I'm now no longer able to do this.  It looks like I'm only able to set primary DNS to 79.79.79.79 & Secondary DNS to 79.79.79.80.  If I blank out the fields then 192.168.1.1 will set as my Primary DNS server.

How do I make 192.168.1.3 my Primary DNS address now?

 

All help will be vert appreciated.  Many thanks.


Regards,
Paul

The DNS servers of 79.79.79.79 etc are the TalkTalk default DNS servers. If you want to use a different DNS server on your local subnet, rather than the router of 192.168.1.1, this is done from the Advanced mode. Go to:-

 

Dashboard > See Wi-Fi Settings > Manage Advanced Settings > TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub > DNS

 

I haven't tried using a different local DNS server, but it should work if you set this to 192.168.1.3. It will then be handed out to your clients via DHCP.
