Set it up as a PiHole.
Which reminds me: I need to finish getting mine hooked up to my LAN properly.

Same. I got mine a static IP, but everything I try to make it work, I get no network at all.

Any chance your pihole and router are both trying to be the DHCP server for the network?

Entirely possible. This is my second adventure into RPi and I have zero idea what I’m doing. I can not overstate how out of my depth I am in this. I have real expertise in several things, but this end of tech is not one of them.

Haha, I feel ya. Try logging into your router’s admin panel and see if you can disable DHCP from there, it might fix things. (Also be prepared to to set static IP on the device you connect to the panel from in case it has issues connecting if disabling DHCP doesn’t fix things or resetting your router to factory settings should also re-enable the router as the DHCP server again).
