Hi.

 

My Deco is working as a DHCP Server for my network.

For an AdBlocker solution I am installing I need to find out the DHCP Domain name.

 

Since it is not in the app I was wondering how I can find it.

 

Thanks in advance

Dekel

Hello Dekel, it is 192.168.68.1 by default.

@Dekel you ever get a real answer to this?

 

My Pi-Hole needs this to resolve internal IP addresses.

 

I suppose I could check whether the `domain-name` or `domain-search` options gets set by the DHCP server,and then take it from there, but I think that the Deco's configuration options are actually slightly idiotic in its rather arbitrary limitations.

@Dekel 

 

I'm looking to do the same thing.

 

I'll keep searching and post back here if I find anything.

 

An online manual appears to suggest it might be possible, but perhaps is slightly misleading and instead referring to DDNS..?

Advanced Features

Additional features are available under the Advanced menu. You can modify WAN settings (IPv4 & IPv6), control Deco's LED and turn notifications off

and on, easily create a domain name for your Deco, set up port forwarding rules to make your local computers accessible to other devices over the

internet, reserve the same IP address for a specific device, and change the working mode.
