YSK: you can setup pihole on any old rooted android (5.0+) device

I just discovered this and it works fantastically on any old / unused android device you might have lying around, I was shocked at how easy it was, all the instructions are there, once you have it running all you need to do is set your router DNS settings to your pihole IP address and presto! Ads and trackers are gone!

Wifi adds latency. Adding 30-300 ms of latency will noticeably affect your browsing experience.

Exactly, I'm being down voted for two comments which are wrong, meh.

Probably worth it to remove ads and trackers thogh
