I wanted to be able to use hostnames instead of IPs locally, so I enabled SSH in order to place a dnsmasq.conf onto the router. Which worked fine, but now I can't access the web UI anymore. Is this intended? If so, how can I disable SSH while I'm connected via SSH?
 
You probably enabled https, try to reach router with 8443 port
https://192.168.1.1:8443

Yes! Thanks!


After restarting, the WiFi connection always disconnected after 5 seconds or so. I deleted the dnsmasq file, and everything's working again. Could you tell me what's wrong with it?

Code:
# Never forward plain names (without a dot or domain part)
domain-needed
# Never forward addresses in the non-routed address spaces.
bogus-priv

address=/somename/192.168.1.10
address=/anothername/192.168.1.11
.. a few more

Alternatively, I've tried adding the names to /etc/hosts, but after rebooting my additions are gone.

See what gets logged in syslog, it should tell you what's the problem with your config.

/etc/hosts is dynamically generated in RAM. You have to use an override config file the same way you did for dnsmasq: /jffs/configs/hosts.add
