Multi-interface networks are hard to serve with DHCP
Home and small-network administrators need DHCP on more than one interface, LAN, or VLAN, but AdGuard Home's reported single-interface limit does not fit setups such as routers with multiple LANs. Users also report WLAN/WAN setups behaving inconsistently across operating systems, while a Windows user is looking for a straightforward way to combine DHCP with internet sharing. The evidence supports a focused configuration problem, but does not show how widespread it is.
For home-network administrators running multi-interface routers. Mentioned from Sep 2021 to Nov 2024 on GitHub and Stack Exchange.

Currently, we only allow users to select one interface on which AGH serves DHCP. That model doesn't quite work when you have e.g. a router that also has some machines connected to it over WAN
I was about to request this. I have a router erlite with WAN+2LAN, and each LAN needs a dhcp server
