Archer C9 V3: cannot access cabled device by name
Archer C9 V3: cannot access cabled device by name

Model : Archer C9

Hardware Version :

Firmware Version : 1.3.0 Build 20161018 rel.71163(4555)

ISP :

On my new Archer C9 V3 I plugged in my Raspberry PI with the open source media center OSMC.

With my previous router (Netgear R7000) I could access the RPI by name: osmc.
Unfortunately, with the Archer C9 I cannot even ping the RPI by name: "Name or service not known".
I can, however, ping by IP address.

The IP address can change with each boot (default DHCP) but I'd prefer to use DNS names to access my devices.
How can I achieve this?

If that is not possible, how can I give a static IP to the RPI (and only that device)?

To answer my own question (at least partly), you can reserve an IP address for a device:

Advanced Tab > Network > DHCP Server > Address Reservations.
Add a MAC address from the below DHCP Client List.

I still haven't found a way to use DNS names in my home network.

TP-Link routers don't support Hostname, but as LLMNR protocol, it's allowed to ping the hostname between two Windows computers.

Thanks for your response.
Unfortunately, in a Linux only network that will not help me :)
