Thanks for all the help so far. It's not a huge burden since I can still get to it with the IP and I can always place that in my local hosts file. Only thing is if/when that changes and it gets assigned a new IP I'll have to change that.
I checked the name on the device, it's still "apex" DHCP is enabled. DNS server is 192.168.1.1 This is the device

Yes, they are DHCP. I only have this one device. It's an aquarium controller and access it's dashboard to make programming changes etc. Don't think I'm using a DNS filter, where would I check?
Hi,> I get a DNS error when I try to access a device on my local network with RT-AC66U router with the hostname. I can get them with the IP and I also can't ping the hostname. Any ideas what is wrong?
