Wifi doesnt seem to use the same DNS as LAN

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

I have a GL.iNet GL-MT6000 running LuCI openwrt-24.10 branch (25.109.65286~63b5ed6)/ OpenWrt 24.10.1 (r28597-0425664679) and my wifi is assinged to the lan which is set to use pihole for DNS

but it doesnt seem to use the DNS I have configured (192.168.1.6 which is pihole)
both 2.4g and 5g point at a different DNS (5g is 192.168.1.1, 2.4g is 192.168.1.2 which is where my old pihole was setup on) just tried restarting them both but still the same

where / how was it configured ?

who's "them" ?

3

the 2.4g and 5g wifi radio's

in the network interfaces I've tried looking for other places to configure DNS for wifi but could never find anywhere else unless I'm blind which is possible

here ?

thats the exact settings I've got on mine and I dont see anything to do with DNS there I dont think I've touched that

It's even in the field description, just need to read it:

Define additional DHCP options, for example "6,192.168.2.1,192.168.2.2" which advertises different DNS servers to clients.
