I found it easier to setup adguard as my DHCP server, because I wasn't able to change the default DNS settings of my isp's router.
Additionally The web interface was quite laggy on my raspberry pi 1b and it always filled up my sdcard with log data (it's been over a year since when I last used pihole though)
To be fair, Pihole can also be setup as your DHCP server, and it's not exactly complicated either.

I bought my own router and modem because of that. Cox started locking router features away inside their app and wanted $10/month to change settings on a modem/router combo I was already paying $8/month to rent!
Now the Pi-Hole is my DHCP server.
