Router won't allow local IP in primary DNS field
Router won't allow local IP in primary DNS field
Since updating the firmware version, the router won't let me update the Primary DNS server in "Network -> Internet" page.
I get the following error "Invalid Primary DNS Server. Please enter another one."
I am trying to use pihole server as the local DNS server.

@Kahakqnj I disabled the DHCP server on the router and using the one on pihole in raspberrypi.

@eousphoros I tried blank as well. The problem is always that primary DNS field is not valid.
It works fine if I put 8.8.8.8 in the primary field. Seems to not like local IPs.

This obviously looks like a bug introduced in the new firmware update. Can someone acknowledge or add to your bug fixes?
Meanwhile, which version can I safely go back to for this router?

@eousphoros
You can see the subnet mask in the "Internet" page on first post
LAN settings:
IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
I have tried different numbers from 192.168.0.1 through 101, they all throw the error alert.
This used to work in the previous firmware version, I made the mistake of upgrading it and now have this problem.

@knotmine Last thought I have, is your primary dns ip address allocated through the dynamic ip pool / reserved ip or is it statically configured?

@eousphoros It's a reserved IP. (I changed it back to 192.168.0.100, so it looks different from original screenshot)
Still, only reaches out to local DNS intermittently.

@knotmine did you find a solution to this? Having the same issue on Archer A8.
