Hey Andrew
Here is the output further down below, but please forgive me I have a number questions also if you can help me again.
I’ve experienced outages twice now.
On the interfaces tab in openwrt everything is up, tx rx all running, but no internet. Only way to restore it is by rebooting. Happened once yesterday after about 4hours, and then today (about 26hours later/uptime), been running for 6odd hours now.
I disconnected everything for debugging, and wanted to check things before i asked you for help.
I don’t know if I need ipv6 enabled? It’s on, just wondering if that is needed for me?
Seeing that I have pihole running on another pi, is simply adding the pihole ip address in the [LAN interface, > Advanced Settings -use custom DNS servers] all that I need to do?
Pihole shows openwrt requesting lookups etc, it’s doing its job perfectly, but I saw many other areas where dns details / options can be added/changed, especially in the Network>DHCP and DNS section.
Also in that tab, first option “force link” . Do I need that on or off?
In Network>DHCP and DNS do I need to uncheck authoritative ?
I have a wireless AP running on the switch which gives out wifi, (on a different subnet to openwrt), so does that count as a second device giving our dhcp? (This is as much as I understood from what I read about authoritative), in which case I would need to turn it off?
