Virgin media router...

[Mythril1976]

I'm with Virgin Media for internet and I'm currently having a play with a Raspberry Pi 5 and AdGuard Home. I've got it working but only on my PC and phone at present. There's many devices in the house that connect to the net and I want them all to route through my Pi.

The router Virgin gives you is about as much cope as chocolate fireguard as I'm unable to set a DNS of my choosing. So, my question is, what's a good router that's available for my connection ? I'm fibre to the house.

Thanks

what router do you have ? Some of the newest virgin routers don't let your do modem/bridge mode so I've read.

I'm using a TP link AX3000 for mine, does a decent job and virtually never needs a reboot beyond occasional updates.

You need to turn dhcp off on your virgin router and run dhcp via your pihole. That will allow you to set it as your dns.
