New Around Here
I'm generally happy with my new-to-me Linksys EA9500, but it seems to have no support for local DNS/hosts, i.e. where mediaserver.lan resolves to my network machine at 192.168.1.95. The router admin does let me specify its DNS servers so I've been using Pi-Hole for DNS (which works fine for local DNS), but lately, the router is having trouble resolving web domain so I'm looking again for router-only solution.

Does anyone know how to access/add local network DNS support with this router? I was able to SSH into my last router and directly edit its hosts file... does anyone know how I can have my EA9500 resolve local *.lan domains to local IP addresses without using a standalone DNS server on my network?
