Hello! I'm very new here and with this tool. I bumped into this from ( oh cannot paste links due to being first post ), and I'm happy this tool can give me access to the router and let me automate port forwarding on it.

I was wondering if it can allow me to disable DHCP on the router too or change DNS settings.

My goal is to have a script that installs Adguard Home and configures my router according altogether.

Thank you!

I have found this python tool that allows me to discover devices on my network and check for the UPNP services/actions provided by that device.

I also found that I would need the LANHostConfigManagement service template in order to be able to communicate with the device to make changes to DNS and DHCP.

Unfortunately neither of my 3 devices offer this service, and it makes sense. I have understood the risks to allow for such devices for an app to change the DNS settings.

But then are we blocked by technology from offering the dump user a product that can enhance their DNS experience but without them having to fidget around in the router settings?

My goal is to have a Raspberry Pi running PiHole or AdGuard Home (DNS) and that can be easily installed in a home network. Is there a creative mind that can show me a work around to an automated DNS configuration without having the user do it himself, while keeping it safe and local.

it looks like https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/igd2-for-linux has a working implementation of LANHostConfigManagement.
