Adguard home as DHCP server

I want to use adguard’s built in dhcp server, since my router doesnt support custom DNS-settings, but am unsure what IP-adresses to fill into the different forms when prompted with this, or even if the server is active, anyone have any clue what to do?

I use pihole DHCP rather than Adguard, but the principle should still be the same.

The “172.30.32.*” IP addresses it’s defaulting to are those of the docker container the add-on runs in. This is not what you want.

The gateway IP should be that for your router connected to the outside world - something like 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1. The address range should be the range of addresses you want DHCP to hand out within this network - for example 192.168.0.2 (since 1 is taken) to 192.168.0.255. You don’t need to change the subnet mask unless you have more than 255 devices online.

You also need to be able to turn off DHCP on your router which, for example, can’t be done on an tp-link m5 in router mode.
