When I got my RT-AC68W I was thrilled to see that it replied to DNS requests for hosts on my LAN. In other words I no longer had to schlep hosts files from host to host in order to access hosts on my LAN by name. Unfortunately I have found a spot where that dos not seem to work. If I give a device a new name using the Web administration page, DNS lookups for that host no longer work.
At present I have two Orvibo S20 WiFi power switches on my LAN. They both identify themselves as 'HF-LPB100' which is not useful if I wish to identify them by name.
Does Merlin firmware provide better support for DNS for renamed hosts?
I just took a shot at this with the factory firmware (3.0.0.4.380_4118-g7f117e6) by enabling telnet and logging in.
