New Around Here
I have a lot of devices connected to my RT-AC68U router. To the point where I ran out of room for entering static dhcp assignments in the UI. I switched to the dnsmasq.conf.add method. One of the problems I have is with the resolution of hostnames in the UI. After scouring the forums I see that this limitation is due to the asus-provided networkmap binary. But I'm wondering if there is any kind of workaround. Maybe maintaining a cross-reference in the hosts file or something. Or maybe I messed something up, but I don't think I did.
One example. In my dnsmasq.conf.add I have:
If I ssh into the router, and do "nslookup 192.168.2.154" it resolves to the above name. If I run "arp" it responds with that name. If I look in dnsmasq.leases it is in there with that name. But the network map in the UI shows it as "Google-Nest-Hub".
Is there anything I can do besides manually overriding the names for each device in the UI? Did I miss anything. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
