I have a Fios G3100 quantum gateway and I am running Pi-Hole and PiVPN on an Orangepi Zero connected to the G3100 via ethernet. The Pi-Hole acts as both my upstream DNS and my DHCP server. Because of this, my guest wifi does not work, since my router DHCP is turned off and the guest wifi cannot access the pihole on the main network, so the guest network has no DHCP.

Is there anyway I can make the guest wifi work with this setup?

I attempted to join the guest wifi from the Orangepi so it would be on both networks, however it could not join since there is no DHCP. I tried setting a static IP on the pi’s wifi adapter but it still did not work.

Sorry in advance, I’m a bit of a dummy when it comes to networking so please make your responses easy to follow if possible. Thank you!
