Yes, this device lacks any DNS capabilities. Ideal approach would be to set up a separate DHCP server and turn off the router's built-in DHCP service. This method allows you to manage IP assignments independently. You'll need to host a DHCP server on your Pi and also include Pi-Hole as a DNS resolver for clients. Edit: I actually implemented this solution. I turned off the router's DHCP and replaced it with a DHCP server on my Synology Rackstation. That server sends the Pi-Hole IP (192.168.178.11) to users, who then use it as their DNS provider.

Hey team, I’m having trouble updating the DHCP settings on my router. I thought changing the DNS on each device would help. My router came with Comcast approval and has certain restrictions. I’m hoping that adjusting those will resolve the issue.

It seems you'll have to handle each device individually.
