Is there an easy way to identify router on admin page?

[badbob001]

I have five routers (AP Mode only) with merlin and when I have all their admin pages opened, it's hard to tell which router's admin page I'm on. Suggestions on how to make this easier? The top of the page shows the router SSID but unfortunately I use the same SSID on all my routers.

Current options:

• Have a note helping to match ip address in url to router (eg: 192.168.1.50 -> 1F Kitchen)
• Update local host file so url address bar shows meaning name instead of just ip address (eg: http:/1Fkitchen/)

What are you using for DNS/DHCP? Just set them all to use DHCP and create reservations so they grab the IP you want them to and you can specify the DNS hostname there, then you use hostname to access them.

Or you can use the hosts file as you say but that's a less elegant solution and only works from that device.
