orbi add dns server

Hi

 

It would be a really great feature to have the orbi being able to present a LAN dns server and to auto-register dns names etc. DHCP also requires greater functionality like the ability to add dns suffixes for example.

 

Thanks

  • This can be done manually by adding the line below to /etc/dnsmasq.conf:

    addn-hosts=/tmp/dhcpd_hostlist

     

    How to login on the Orbi router is described here in step 1: How-to-set-a-separate-SSID-for-the-5-GHz-network-on-your-Orbi

     

    After dnsmasq.conf is changed restart dnsmasq:

    kill $(pidof dnsmasq)
    /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --except-interface=lo -r /tmp/resolv.conf
