I have switched to my faster Pi, a model 3, and burnt a Trixie Lite card. Still no joy, and temporarily stopping PiHole didn't make any difference:

I am utterly mystified as to why most of the time the steps as documented fail, but once in a while they are OK. I have used 3 different Pis, each with a newly-burnt card. If I had network issues I think my problems would be much, much bigger.
