Hi there, On my router/modem I cannot change the DNS entries, thus just using Adguard/PiHole for DNS blocking ads doesn’t work. Would a seperate Router circumvent this problem? Could I set up Adguard (or PiHole) on a Raspberry and use it as a DNS server for my home network?

The plan would be to use my ISP-provided router just as a modem to connect to the internet. Then us a second router to provide my home network, where also Adguard/PiHole can do their thing.

Would this setup work and how would I need to configure it?

    Bridge mode on the ISP router is what you want. Then it just passes through the internet connection to the internal router on the edge of your network. It’s what I do with Comcast.
