Register local DHCP clients to DNS was created by clive_sherborne
Hi,
I don't understand why this is different from other routers. For example, with my BT Home Hub, when a DHCP Client registers, the router's DNS gets the hostname and IP address of that DHCP client. This means it's easy to find another device on your LAN by using its name.
But seemingly not with the Vigor. Is there some strange convoluted setting to achieve this?
It doesn't help that the DHCP Table seems to empty itself after not very long, and rarely shows clients' hostnames.
This seems a bit of a fundamental failing, but maybe I'm missing a step?
Thanks for any advice!
