I am super lost on what to do to get my different devices IP address/names listed.

Router: Unifi Dream Machine

Router has DNS set to AGH IP address and the router is automatically setting DNS for each device. It makes sense that the router IP address is the only one showing, but I'm pretty sure there is a way to get distinct client IPs to show.

Anyone know what I need to do?

From one of your devices can you check what DNS server they are using? It sounds like the router is setting itself as the DNS server. This would mean all your devices would list your router's IP address and the DNS server. This is a different setting than the DNS server that your router is using.

If that's the case you tell your router to tell your devices to set the DNS server to the IP address of your AdGuard Home device. Alternatively, you can manually set the DNS server on your devices.
