AX11000 changes the IP when setting my Pi-hole as the DNS server

Just bought this tonight - replacing my eero 5 base + 2 beacon setup.
My Pi-hole server is set to 192.168.1.100. Set my DCHP server from 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.100. Set my Raspberry Pi running the Pi-Hole to a static 192.168.1.100. As soon as I change my DNS server to 192.168.1.100, the router seems to almost lock up. When I log back into it, I get the following message:
"To avoid IP conflict with the front-end device, your router's IP address has been changed to 192.168.0.1"
I also tried the whole thing under the 192.168.0.1 scheme - that just results in the same message but putting the router back to 192.168.1.1. This was never an issue with the eero nor the Asus AC3200 I had before that.
No Pi-hole = this thing is going back to Costco unless it can be fixed. Firmware is up to date. I saw a couple of Reddit threads with the same problem from 1-2 years ago on different TP-Link routers but no resolution was ever posted.
