Hi All,

Very off topic but thought one of you may be knowledgable in the area.
Basically I'd like to be able to block adverts on my router so they
don't even get on my network. For example I get none on YouTube on my PC
but I get inundated with them watching YouTube on my TV on the same
network, and on my phone. The router is an Asus RT-AC68U running /I
think/ a form of Linux.

Kind regards,

Julian 

You can set your router up to be a DNS server and you can manage your own DNS blacklists yourself, or see if PiHole is available for your router.
