Having lost the SSH-password to my Raspberry Pi which was running the Pi-hole network wide adblocker and having a router that started bugging out every day, it was again time to redesign my home network.
This time I sat down and set up a more organized network map, by working with fixed IP:s and listing up my personal devices.
First I removed the router that was having issues and reset the intended router. Having the new router set up I could then work with the rest of the equipment again.
I reset my Raspberry Pi and reinstalled the OS following this guide.
Now having access to a fresh installation of the Raspberry Pi OS lite and Pi-hole, I could also do something I wasn't able to before due to the lost credentials, namely updating the Pi.
As usual you open Powershell as admin and run the command SSH username@ipaddress which connects you to the device itself.
Then you run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade to update the Pi itself.
After it is updated, you update the Pi-hole by first checking the version, using sudo pihole -v followed by sudo pihole -up if needed.
In the Pi-hole GUI I could also set up a list of clients, and divide them into two groups. I started with a group for personal devices and one group for IoT to get some practice in.
