Hello guys,
so I was trying to setup a custom domain so that I'm able to access my devices, like a "qnap" box over "qnap.home". This was not working after setting "Domain Name" to "home" in the DHCP Server settings. So I flashed the merlin firmware on my RT-AC87U and hoped this would solve s.th. but no chance. I did a factory reset on the router but I still can't talk to my device over the domain.
[vagrant@localhost ~]$ dig qnap.home @192.168.1.1
; <<>> DiG 9.11.4-P2-RedHat-9.11.4-10.P2.fc28 <<>> qnap.home @192.168.1.1

Any ideas? Do I need to set up dnsmasq manually on the router for this to work? What am I doing wrong?
Not all of the devices hang directly on the router. The router is connected to a switch and some of the devices to the switch, like "qnap". However this shouldn't matter right?
Kind regards
