Re: Can I add custom DNS entries for my LAN using Orbi?

Hi,
I see where I can add custom entries to DHCP (MAC address to IP address). This is great, and probably good enough for what I'm trying to do.
However, I'm wondering if there is some feature that allows me to map a LAN IP Address to a hostname.
I've got a bunch of computers on my network like network attached storage, linux servers, and the like. I'm getting tired of typing in the IP Address all the time
I'd rather browse to https://ds916.orbilogin.net/ rather than browse to https://192.168.1.12
This is basically the orbilogin.com -> 192.168.1.1 mapping that Netgear provides. I guess I'm wondering if this is hard coded or if I can go in and add my own entries
Thanks

Once you have mDNS installed, then the machines will typically be reachable via their machine name appended with ".local". For example, https://ds916.local/. I have an ancient Synology DS207+ which I can reach simply by entering "thebox.local/" into my browser.
