HUAWEI B618 LTE-A router discussion thread.

Remind me tomorrow evening or so, I'll have a look on mine.

But I think you may have to disable the DHCP entirely. I do seem to recall having it working before I switched to another router.

It should be under Ethernet settings on the router.

EDIT: Network settings -> Ethernet -> Ethernet settings -> Dynamic IP -> Set DNS server manually

Hi all

I installed a pi hole at home and is working well, however I can’t find the DNS setting in my B618 to change the DNS to that of my pi hole.

Does it not have the option?

Probably not. Huawei's are notorious for that. What you can do is turn on DHCP in the Pi-hole and turn off DHCP on the Huawei.

Yeah thanks, I activated DHCP on the pi hole and deactivated it on the B618. All good, mightily impressed with this.

I seem to recall that this is what I was doing as well. It makes controlling the assignment of IP addresses easier.

I was saying DHCP but typing DNS
