Using a RT-AC56U with firmware 378.56_2
I have my main home machines set to receive their IP addresses via DHCP, but using the DHCP reservation. So for example:
bleep = 192.168.10.100
bloop = 192.168.10.101
blorp = 192.168.10.102
On a wired connection from any device, I can ping "bleep" or connect to shares on "blorp" with no problem. But any device connected via wifi doesn't resolve the hostnames to the IP addresses. I'm pretty new to this firmware, so I'm probably missing something (for one, I'm having a hard time figuring out if it has dnsmasq installed by default or not). My previous router was running some elderly version of DD-WRT and it worked as expected. I haven't changed any configs on the clients.
I need some guidance, please!
EDIT TO ADD:
On the DHCP Server tab under LAN, I do indeed have "Advertise router's IP in addition to user-specified DNS" ticked, which I think *should* do the job?
