I'm looking at this page for referencing installing an Ad Blocker: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Ad_blocking

I'm running Adguard, and I'm not real sure implementing Ad Blocking at the router level will help, or be as good. I would like to lessen resources being used on my desktop.

The Ad Blocker above for router level blocking; is that the best resource for implementing a Ad Blocker at the router level? Is there something better?

Looks like the tutorial hasn't been updated in awhile, and could possibly not work with the R7000.

Have you tried Privoxy that is already built-in to the firmware? See Services>Adblocking tab.

Kong already has a basic tutorial on how to use privoxy from inside his firmware.
http://tips.desipro.de/

I believe it is the last/ bottom "how to".

It's an oldie but a goodie, but you might try this:

http://www.howtogeek.com/51477/how-to-remove-advertisements-with-pixelserv-on-dd-wrt/

I've been using it with good results for some time. The tutorial is a bit out of date regarding WinSCP (but nothing significant), and I use a USB flash drive instead of the internal JFFS.

Put this into startup:
_rogue=0.0.0.0

echo -e "n=1\nwhile ! wget -q -O /tmp/hsts http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt ; do\n\t[ \$n -gt 5 ] && break\n\tlet n+=1\n\tsleep 60\ndone\ngrep \"^0.0.0.0\" /tmp/hsts | grep \"^0.0.0.0\" | grep -v localhost | awk '{print \"$_rogue\\\t\"\$2}' | tr -d '\\\015' >/tmp/dlhosts\nrm /tmp/hsts\nkillall -HUP dnsmasq" >/tmp/wh

sh /tmp/wh &


Put Additional DNS Masquerade option:
addn-hosts=/tmp/dlhosts


Add to CronJobs:
0 12 * * * root /tmp/.rc_startup

This is all well and good , but for one thing , somebody else dictate's to you what is block and what not, if you prefer somebody else ideals as to what they block for you. Then more power to you. I'll stick with the custom privoxy.

P.S your method only blocks by domain only and there is no fine tuning.

If you go for on board Privoxy, I'd suggest testing out your browser setup at their site:
http://config.privoxy.org/show-status
to make sure you've got everything working tickety-boo.
