Accepted Add local DNS server to ER605
Please add a local DNS server, like dnsmasq, to the ER605. It's a bug for a business router that's running DHCP to not be able to resolve local host names.

local dns would :
1) be able to set LOCALDOMAIN If LOCALDOMAIIN = COUNTRY.DOMAIN.COM and DOMAIN.COM exists on internet, local resolution would overwrite public resolution
2) automatically resolve client's hostname.LOCALDOMAIN
3) support dynamic added resolution from local hosts
4) last and greatest, be able to host public resolution to branch offices ... like DOMAIN.COM address a subdomain to R605 public ip when it's a fixed one

I just spent a ton of money converting to TP-Link infrastructure, apparently naively thinking this basic feature existed in the devices I purchased that are capable of acting as a DHCP server. I converted from Ubiquiti/Unifi infrastructure (they seem to have lost their way, especially relative to support) but now it looks like I'm going to have to at least incorporate some of their (non-Omada) equipment in the new infrastructure for a working network.
C'mon TP-Link - you are actively pushing your customers to your competition! This is absurd.
Consider this another giant +1 for this thread/topic.
The fact that this thread is as old as it is and has virtually NO response from TP-Link is very concerning...
