[Feature request] Hostnames

Technical Support for Routers

Can you consider adding hostnames feature directly in Gl gui firmware?

For example I want to connect to web interface of my home NAS or even printer, now I need to type 192.162.8.22 or similar which is awfully inconvenient.

I ask you to add page where I can bind for example 192.168.8.22 to printer.lan and use printer.lan instead of typing 192.168.8.22.

Is it possible?

I know that it is possible via Luci but I want to see it in Gl gui!

There is many people may want to have convenient way to create them. For example here on forum there is at least three big threads about this (links hidden under spoiler not to make post inconvenient to read):

Separate thank to Bernard Lo from your support.

Using hosts in Gl Gui solves all issues with hostnames in my case (it is located in DNS section)

P.S: If someone ask about hostnames, just refer to this post. Really good solution!
