Okay, I’m a newbie with network stuff, and I’m getting toward the end of my rope with setting this up. I was able to get pi hole installed on my raspberry pi all well and good until it came to setting up my dns server and I realized that ATT doesn’t let you configure those settings.

I bought an Archer A54, got it set up and followed this tutorial. Wifi is working great, but now I’m hitting a problem I have 0 idea how to handle.

My LAN’s IP address starts with 162 and my DHCP’s start and end IP are also in the 162 region. But none of my devices have a 162 IP address. They’re all start with 192. Which wouldn’t be a problem since they all seem to be working, but I need to assign a static IP address to my pi-hole and every time I try to use its current or around its current IP address, I get this error message: “IP address is not within the same subnet as the LAN IP or its reserved IP Address. Please input another address.”

When I put in an address that satisfies it, I restart everything, but the pi-hole doesn’t have the assigned IP address (and I’ve double checked the MAC address). Trying to change the LAN IP address also doesn’t work.

At this point I’m pulling my hair out, so if there is any kind of workaround, I would be infinitely grateful.
