Internal Server Error when hostname used
I have configured my RBR750 as an access point with the following IP addresses set as static DHCP addresses in my OpenWRT router. router: "mesh" 192.168.49.4 satellite: "mesh1" 192.168.4...
It appears that the DNS server in Open WRT is not resolving "mesh" to the correct IP address.
What happens if you do the command line command
ping mesh
Good thought, but the IP address in the query is correct. Here's what "wget" outputs when typed from the command line:
% wget mesh

Version V4.6.14.3 appears to have been out since 12/1/2022 (almost nine months). Unless this system was just recently updated, the firmware seems unlikely to be the cause of the change in behavior.
My Orbi requires authentication. (user, password) Do you have those parameters in a configuration file, rather than on the command line? It appears that more parameters are required to get the output in your post. All I get is this:
C:\Users\Dick>wget.exe 192.168.1.1 --user=admin --password=xxxxxxxxx --2023-08-30 16:13:45-- http://192.168.1.1/ Connecting to 192.168.1.1:80... connected.

(Also testing on an RBR50 in router mode) It is interesting to note that on my Windows computer, wget connects to the IPv6 address of the web site when Orbi resolves http://orbilogin.net :
