ZTE MC888A dns setting area to set up pi hole

lgwjames — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 10:19:56 GMT

so i have been looking for about a hour and cant see anywhere to use my ZTE MC888A 5g hub with my new pi hole server. There is no where to set up a dns server to force all items on the net to use.

Where is the setting please? as this is normal on most routers for 30 years

You can't even in on a non branded ZTE MC888A. Best bet is to turn off DHCP on the router (Advanced Settings) and use your pi-hole as a DHCP server.

yes, you can. there is a video on YouTube in Italian which tells you to go to the admin screen, press f12 and load a java script to get more menus

Setting it on the hub isn't something that's supported by Three. You can set the DNS on a per device basis though. You can do that on each device that you want to have on a different DNS.
