Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:

Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

The DHCP server pushes the DNS configuration to the clients. Is your Asus router running the DHCP server? If so, in DHCP configuration, set the DNS to point to your Pi-Hole
I have my router as DHCP and I also have the DNS set to the pi-hole which I'm assuming is how the devices are getting it. I'm just not sure why it's getting my router IP as well.
Your router is the gateway to the internet. I could be wrong here, but this is why your devices can see it. They need to know where they can access the internet.
DHCP is a protocol where the "router" tells the devices that it is the gateway.
So gateway refers to where to find the DHCP server?
Gateway is the path where your devices go if it needs to go out of the network, eg. the Internet, different subnet.
Note that what is typically referred to a "router" in a home setting is actually many different devices/services in one. It's usually a combination of router, switch, firewall, DHCP server, DNS server, Wireless Access Point, modem and probably a couple other things I forgot.
No, that’s handled by ARP requests. In this case, it’s likely that the DHCP server is on the gateway, as that’s a pretty common setup for home ISP router arrangements.
Gateway refers to a router that has access to other networks. In this case, the default gateway, which will be the router that has access to the internet.
DNS or name servers are a separate option in DHCP leases, as are the IP addresses for DHCP servers, which are more of a windows thing generally.
In this case this comment is probably an accurate description of what’s happened:
