mDNS issues

2024-01-05 18:25:28

Tags:

Model: Archer C3150

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 2.2.0 0.9.1 v005f.0 Build 220330 Rel.57074n

For wired connections, I can address my devices using a local ID, eg. 'homeassistant.local'.

However, as soon as I unplug my laptop, therefore using WiFi, 'homeassistant.local' does not work anymore. Only ip-based addressing works.

This goes for *any* device.

Does mDNS work with WiFi and if so, how can i enable it?

Thanks in advance for the answer.

Normally the mDNS doesn't distinguish wired or wireless connection, it might be related to special settings on the wireless adapter of your laptop.

Or you could also add a new entry in the hosts file of your laptop:

IP address homeassistant.local

Note: IP address should be the real IP address of that device you are trying to access.
