RT-AC56U - Make DNS resolve DHCP client names?

[zerowalker]

As topic says, I'm sure there's a better name for it but not sure what this is called.

Currently for example i got a raspberry pi connected, and if i ping it by name from the router it works fine and it can resolve it.
However if i try to ping it from my windows computer (which has the router as it's dns) it doesn't work,
so it doesn't resolve the DHCP names through a dns request I guess?

I'm not sure if that's supposed to work by default or not, so not sure if I messed something up.

My current settings is to have CloudFlare DNS set manually on both IPv4 and IPv6.
I attached the DHCP settings if those are matter.

You should give your LAN a DNS domain name, so set that on the router to something like home.lan. Then reboot your clients. I don't know whether that will fix your problem but leaving it blank can cause Windows to have this sort of problem.

If the problem persists post the complete output you get from nslookup pi-name (change pi-name accordingly) on the Windows machine.

In your attached screen capture image it indicates you have Manual Assignments active. Does the Raspberry Pi have an Manual Assignment? If so have you entered a value/name in the "Hostname (Optional)" field for that Raspberry Pi manual assignment?

Example:

Also make sure to set a Hostname in/on the Raspberry Pi itself.

Reboot the computer, Pi and router after making the changes.
