I have the Pi-Hole acting as the DHCP server and DNS server too and this works fine for 23 hours and then it flops and I don’t understand why.

Basically after 24 hours, all devices just disconnect from the router and when I try and reconnect them, they say they’re unable to get an IP address.

But before they drop connection, they all report the DNS server as the Pi-Hole.

If I change my DHCP to static and connect to my router, I see that the Pi-Hole is still connected with its static IP just fine.

If I factory reset the router and then add the same SSID and password, the Pi-Hole automatically reconnects and then all devices can reconnect again, so I’m unsure what the issue is.

Can someone break this down. I feel stupid for not understanding what’s happening here.

    Okay, so after searching left, right and centre, I found something interesting. I have both my 5G and my 2.4G using the same SSID, could that be the cause of the issue?
