Thank you all for your responses!
Where did you guys buy your hardware from? Local purchase or online?
Any warranty or RMA experience (if done) ?
 
@Nishant are you using a switch as well, for more lan ports? How do you manage lan subnets? Is your pihole on the outermost lan or you have set a filtering rule to send all dns requests on the network to your pi ip?

I am currently using a TP-Link c2300 with a rpi3 running pihole.
There are two places for dns settings, on internet setup dns settings, it doesn't allow dns server to be on the same subnet as router.
But on the dhcp page, it allows my pi local ip.

The router seems to have a hardcoded dns setting, because whenever I use the speedtest page on the router, my pi doesn't get dns requests. Same happens when router checks for updates. For everything else on the network, my pi gets requests. The router itself doesn't use pihole.

No switches. Just a simple one subnet network. The LAN from ERX goes to an Asus RT-AC68U used as an AP.
 
I am also looking to make a similar setup, use a dedicated router and use the wifi router as access point and a switch.
@Nishant is your pi connected to erx or the Asus ap? also is the dns ip set on the erx or the asus ap?
